We also appear to have no control over the PC via the keyboard only about 1/4 of the keystrokes seemed to register to the PC After messing with a lot of things including removing the motherboard battery and checking all cableing. It appers the problem was fixed when the power was cycled on the KVM keyboard extender box down stairs next to the CoMP pc ___end___ Wed Oct 13 19:05:14 GMT 2010 COMP Start Patrol CHIP COMMENT BY BEN: Wed Oct 13 19:06:23 GMT 2010 Chip has been crashing a lot again this morning.

One noteworthy thing is a bad fiber optic cable termination at the media converter side, it had looked strange to me when I first checked it last week and today Ben determined it was broken using his iPhone magnifying application and good troubleshooting, we pulled out the broken piece and tried running it again but no change. That doesn't mean that isn't the main problem, when we get a spare cable we'll swap it in for testing. ___end___ **CoMP PROBLEM COMMENT BY DARRYL**: Thu Oct 14 00:31:44 GMT 2010 KVM switch interface between keyboard/video/mouse to PC seems to be bad, PC wouldn't boot reliably with it in place. We setup a spare monitor and keyboard and mouse back by the PC and TV which connect directly to the PC w/o any KVM, this setup seems to boot and reboot reliably. ___end___ Thu Oct 14 00:40:00 GMT 2010 MkIV 17_25.rawmk4 18_41.rawmk4 19_43.rawmk4 20_45.rawmk4 21_47.rawmk4 17_28.rawmk4 18_45.rawmk4 19_46.rawmk4 20_48.rawmk4 21_50.rawmk4 17_31.rawmk4 18_48.rawmk4 19_49.rawmk4 20_51.rawmk4 21_53.rawmk4 17_34.rawmk4 18_50.rawmk4 19_52.rawmk4 20_54.rawmk4 21_56.rawmk4 17_37.rawmk4 18_53.rawmk4 19_55.rawmk4 20_57.rawmk4 21_59.rawmk4 17_39.rawmk4 18_56.rawmk4 19_58.rawmk4 21_00.rawmk4 22_02.rawmk4 17_42.rawmk4 18_59.rawmk4 20_01.rawmk4 21_03.rawmk4 22_05.rawmk4 17_45.rawmk4 19_02.rawmk4 20_04.rawmk4 21_06.rawmk4 22_08.rawmk4 17_48.rawmk4 19_05.rawmk4 20_07.rawmk4 21_09.rawmk4 22_11.rawmk4 17_51.rawmk4 19_08.rawmk4 20_10.rawmk4 21_12.rawmk4 22_14.rawmk4 17_54.rawmk4 19_11.rawmk4 20_13.rawmk4 21_15.rawmk4 22_17.rawmk4 17_57.rawmk4 19_14.rawmk4 20_16.rawmk4 21_17.rawmk4 22_19.rawmk4 18_00.rawmk4 19_17.rawmk4 20_19.rawmk4 21_20.rawmk4 22_22.rawmk4 18_03.rawmk4 19_20.rawmk4 20_22.rawmk4 21_23.rawmk4 22_25.rawmk4 18_06.rawmk4 19_23.rawmk4 20_24.rawmk4 21_26.rawmk4 c18_25.rawmk4 18_09.rawmk4 19_26.rawmk4 20_27.rawmk4 21_29.rawmk4 c18_32.rawmk4 18_12.rawmk4 19_29.rawmk4 20_30.rawmk4 21_32.rawmk4 c18_38.rawmk4 18_18.rawmk4 19_32.rawmk4 20_33.rawmk4 21_35.rawmk4 18_21.rawmk4 19_35.rawmk4 20_36.rawmk4 21_38.rawmk4 18_29.rawmk4 19_37.rawmk4 20_39.rawmk4 21_41.rawmk4 18_35.rawmk4 19_40.rawmk4 20_42.rawmk4 21_44.rawmk4
