My keyboard locks up after I type a few commands. Whats wrong?
If you were at the bottom of the screen when this occurred, then this is the infamous “scrolling while ADB input is being received” problem. There are a few ways to avoid it: • always type “clear” before the screen has a chance to scroll • edit /etc/ttys and use an external terminal on one of your serial ports • use “dt”, Lawrence Kesteloot’s desktop program (this is a good solution) • since this problem has been fixed on all machines that I know of since the 1.1 release, the best solution is to upgrade to a much newer kernel.
