Hey guys, For as long as I can remember since rt2500pci was my wireless driver, rfkill inserts data once per second into my keyboard stream. Normally, X ignores these data and the problem simply manifests itself as keyboard repetition being stopped once per second. I think there may have been some change between 2.6.24 and 2.6.25-rc5 which prevents me logging in on a console. Now, during boot, my console is spammed with ^@ (i.e. \0) once per second and I can't log in on the console (because my password is interspersed with ^@!). X still works. If I remove the rt2500pci and dependant modules, the output stops. If I echo 0 > /sys/class/rfkill/rfkill0/state, the output stops. Otherwise, 0x60 (96) bytes of this output appear every second: bruce@moon:~$ sudo od -t c -t u1 /dev/input/event5 0000000 > t 343 G \0 \0 \0 \0 232 \t \0 \0 \0 \0 \0 \0 62 116 227 71 0 0 0 0 154 9 0 0 0 0 0 0 0000020 001 \0 356 \0 001 \0 \0 \0 > t 343 G \0 \0 \0 \0 1 0 238 0 1 0 0 0 62 116 227 71 0 0 0 0 0000040 244 \t \0 \0 \0 \0 \0 \0 001 \0 356 \0 \0 \0 \0 \0 164 9 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 238 0 0 0 0 0 0000060 ? t 343 G \0 \0 \0 \0 236 \t \0 \0 \0 \0 \0 \0 63 116 227 71 0 0 0 0 158 9 0 0 0 0 0 0 0000100 001 \0 356 \0 001 \0 \0 \0 ? t 343 G \0 \0 \0 \0 1 0 238 0 1 0 0 0 63 116 227 71 0 0 0 0 0000120 251 \t \0 \0 \0 \0 \0 \0 001 \0 356 \0 \0 \0 \0 \0 169 9 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 238 0 0 0 0 0 0000140 @ t 343 G \0 \0 \0 \0 236 \t \0 \0 \0 \0 \0 \0 64 116 227 71 0 0 0 0 158 9 0 0 0 0 0 0 0000160 001 \0 356 \0 001 \0 \0 \0 @ t 343 G \0 \0 \0 \0 1 0 238 0 1 0 0 0 64 116 227 71 0 0 0 0 0000200 251 \t \0 \0 \0 \0 \0 \0 001 \0 356 \0 \0 \0 \0 \0 169 9 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 238 0 0 0 0 0 0000220 A t 343 G \0 \0 \0 \0 240 \t \0 \0 \0 \0 \0 \0 65 116 227 71 0 0 0 0 160 9 0 0 0 0 0 0 0000240 001 \0 356 \0 001 \0 \0 \0 A t 343 G \0 \0 \0 \0 1 0 238 0 1 0 0 0 65 116 227 71 0 0 0 0 0000260 253 \t \0 \0 \0 \0 \0 \0 001 \0 356 \0 \0 \0 \0 \0 171 9 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 238 0 0 0 0 0 0000300 B t 343 G \0 \0 \0 \0 241 \t \0 \0 \0 \0 \0 \0 66 116 227 71 0 0 0 0 161 9 0 0 0 0 0 0 0000320 001 \0 356 \0 001 \0 \0 \0 B t 343 G \0 \0 \0 \0 1 0 238 0 1 0 0 0 66 116 227 71 0 0 0 0 0000340 254 \t \0 \0 \0 \0 \0 \0 001 \0 356 \0 \0 \0 \0 \0 172 9 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 238 0 0 0 0 0 0000360 C t 343 G \0 \0 \0 \0 236 \t \0 \0 \0 \0 \0 \0 67 116 227 71 0 0 0 0 158 9 0 0 0 0 0 0 0000400 001 \0 356 \0 001 \0 \0 \0 C t 343 G \0 \0 \0 \0 1 0 238 0 1 0 0 0 67 116 227 71 0 0 0 0 0000420 250 \t \0 \0 \0 \0 \0 \0 001 \0 356 \0 \0 \0 \0 \0 168 9 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 238 0 0 0 0 0 I hope there is enough structure and repetition in this output to allow you to find the source. I didn't bother to bisect to find the cause of the ^@'s on my console, since I don't think it's the underlying problem. Thanks, Bruce
