Bug Description
Ubuntu version: feisty
The computer is an IBM intellistation with dual PIII 500MHzs. It is working flawlessly with one processor, but with two processors I can kill it in less than 10 seconds by rapidly typing random keypresses. It doesn't seem to be any difference what is running when I type, and it will crash sooner or later when using the keyboard in a normal fashion. It is totally stable for every purpose if I just don't tuch the keyboard. I can surf for hours, watch video, transcode video, mythbackend running with mythweb, remote login with nomachines nx... just don't tuch the keyboard.
And by crashing I meen a total freeze, only power off will recover.
I'm using Feisty now, but the same bug was also present with Edgy.
More Information:
I tried logging into a text console. I couldn't get it to freeze by typing there like in an X session. It will however freeze by typing rapidly into the graphical login window. I'm using a matrox G450 graphics card, with driver mga. I also tried swithing to the vesa driver instead, but it still freezes in the same way.
