Since I have a USB keyboard, the loadkeys is the first thing in the /etc/rc.sysinit that accesses the keyboard after the uhci-hcd module is loaded. But I've verified that any keyboard read, such as a bash "read", will lock the system after uhci-hcd is loaded....so it's not loadkeys fault. I'll start a new thread to discuss this. -- Deron Meranda
