It's caused because of Mandrake turning on the NUM LOCK when the system
starts. If you have a way to turn off NUM LOCK on that laptop, turn it
off, then login. I've only ever heard of laptops being affected, is
that correct?
To stop it from happening again, edit /etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit and comment
out the following lines:
# Linux Mandrake : this little script switch on the LEDs
# in console mode
INITTY=/dev/tty[1-8]
for tty in $INITTY; do
setleds -D +num < $tty
done
That should do it!
