X-Enigmail-Version: 1.5.2 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org List-ID: X-Mailing-List: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org Content-Length: 997 Lines: 27 Hello, I am stuck with a weird keyboard related issue: Since a few weeks I see loads of ^@^@^@^@^@^@ appear on the text console while the PC_speaker beeps when this box is in runlevel 3. When xorg is running the ^@^@^@ stream stops, as does the beeping, but I can notice that selecting text, scrolling xterminals with the mouse are interrupted by these characters appearing. (but not printing) Removing/replacing the ps/2 keyboard does not help. Rebooting does help for a while. The hardware is a Gigabyte F2A85X-UP4, BIOS F5a 04/30/2013. I replaced the board last weekend by a brand new F2A85X-UP4 with same BIOS F5a but the problem persists. What could this be? Is it really a software issue? If so: how could I help fix this?
