Jiri - For what it is worth, and understand that it is hard to prove a negitive, on slack moments over the weekend I repeatedly booted my system into single user (console) mode using a kernel with CONFIG_GROUP_SCHED set to yes. To date I have NOT been able to recreate the repeating key issue out

Jiri - I am tempted to lie to you and say it was in both modes, or when running under X only, but to tell you the truth while I have not seen it while running in console mode, I have not spent enough time there to make a solid statement one way or the other. Sorry Chris On Thu, 2008-02-21

Jiri - OK - I will confirm that I have been running with CONFIG_GROUP_SCHED set. I have turned it off via menuconfig (which also gets rid of a couple of other options like CONFIG_USER_SCHED and CONFIG_FAIR_GROUP_SCHED) and I am performing a kernel build from clean sources. Get back to you in a
