by I switched motherboards & now I've got a pentium pro instead of my old
90MHz pentium... anyway - in the past I've always used a serial
logitech mouse & I've never had a problem with it... Now when I select
a menu or move the mouse while netscape is hogging the display
& processor... I'm getting messages from syslog that look like this
each time it happens:
Jan 12 20:54:26 jules /kernel: sio0: 1 more silo overflow (total 1)
Jan 12 20:55:46 jules /kernel: sio0: 1 more silo overflow (total 2)
Jan 12 20:57:06 jules /kernel: sio0: 1 more silo overflow (total 3)
now the problem comes in whenever I try to move the mouse a lot & get
numerous silo overflows - then the machine halts & reboots (or needs
rebooted...)
also - whenever I use Ctl-Alt-F* to switch to a virtual console it works
sometimes - but after a pretty big delay (the display just freezes with
X on it) it will switch - or the machine reboots itself.
I haven't tried reinstalling the stuff since I switched processors -
I'll play with that next. I've also been trying to use the PS/2 mouse
port instead of the serial port (to eliminate the silo problems?). If
anybody can give me a lead on what to do (i've added these 2 lines to
the kernel:
options "PSM_DEBUG=1"
device psm0 at isa? disable port "IO_KBD" conflicts tty irq
12 vector psmintr
but i'm not getting anything back at boot-time) I'd appreciate it...
thanks alot...
