SysRq + B ( Boot , should reboot the machine ) does not work for me. The other SysRq key all work. Second, SysRq + L ( killalL , kill all processes ) freezes the computer. VT switching doesn't work anymore, the Caps Lock LED doesn't change on the key press. Weirdly the power-off button works. It is a soft-power-off button and if the correct code is not running, one must hold it for 4 seconds to power off.
Same thing with Florence beta2 on an updated machine. ( it is still the same keyboard )
From the Documentation/sysrq.txt file: 'i' - Send a SIGKILL to all processes, except for init. 'l' - Send a SIGKILL to all processes, INCLUDING init. (Your system will be non-functional after this.) so the "L stops functioning" is not a bug but intended behavior. The "b" is still a bug
Still doesn't work. I patched to kernel to perform a reboot on SysRq+H instead of SysRq+B and it works, pressing SysRq+H will reboot the system. Seems like the keyboard can't handle certain key combinations. For the record : Keyboard is PS/2 with slovenian layout , Cherry G83.
