That's odd. I wonder if the hardware is sick. What is the duration is the
underrun? The info you sent didn't include that.
no, it's the ps2 driver that is sick. The ps2 keyboard driver is one of
the few places that busy-polls for IRQ completion from within a tasklet
context for things like led switching (yuck) - this can cause many
