on a dual proc machine keyboard or the mouse gets lost at some
point after rio starts. it never happens with only one cpu. anybody

are these ps/2 or usb devices?
does killing rio solve the problem?
does ^t^t or ^p work?

it seems related to something geoff mentioned. i think if there's mouse activity
before rio start it causes it more. the only input that seems to work
is halt via ctl-alt-del.
i'll try to repro with more detail as soon as my emergency is over.

i installed a fresh plan9 on trash ... i did venti/fossil and it still
complains on boot about various things.  but i checked the
messages and they are informative, not nasty.

i'm gonna live with it.  i don't reboot my machines.

my auth server has been going for nearly a year since it was put on a ups.

and it's P3 junk with no nothing.  well 2 X 5 year old ether cards.

the machine will die before plan9 does.
