Well, it sounds funny,
but it seems to be fixed by plugging in keyboard/mouse (both USB) into
the USB ports on mobo - not as the scientist in Mainz did: into the
TFT's USB hub. This seems to be an issue. Fridey last week, this machine ran
head- and keyboardless until I did some stupid misconfigurations in the
kernel. That's it ...
Sorry
Oliver
P.S. Why is this behaviour so lethal to the kernel?
