System name: hodge
Type and version: KN01 7.2R (1 update(s) to same version)
Display type: PM-MONO
What were you trying to do?
Use my machine
What's wrong:
The console window had popped up, with the interesting message:
10:08 cn0: input silo overflow
According to jfc, this means that the console device input queue had
data coming in so fast that hodge couldn't handle the interrupts. We
have a printer (apple laserwriter) hooked up to podge, but I'm
unimpressed that an lw+ can outgun a pmax.
Anyway, the mouse and keyboard became wedged, and there was a document
printing (the lw was double-flashing). Even though the X server
seemed dead, I was able to telnet in. For reasons unbeknownst to me,
printing another short file caused the keyboard/mouse to unwedge, and
now I'm sending you a bug.
What should have happened:
nothing should have wedged
Please describe any relevant documentation references:
