Anybody seen this situation. I have a O2 R5K. with the keyboard plugged and power applied. system attempts to start, I heard disk activity but it get stuck with a amber light showing on the front. 

with the keyboard unplugged and power reapplied to the system, it will give a green light give the piano tune. message from the console port say keyboard is missing check the cable, system stops at maintenance menu. I give command to boot and reattach the key board. once it is up the keyboard works fine, I can log in. I run the confidence test on the Keyboard, works great no errors. 

I give command to restart the system, on the way down console message gives:
  "Waiting for 'Asynch. rpc req handler/server' to die.  
   Waiting for 'Asynch. event hander' to die." 

front light goes amber and system hangs. 

I reset follow same procedure to get to the maintenance menu and run diags, all pass. 

Just was wondering if anyone else has experience it and or have ideas for me to try and further pin done the problem. 

the Keyboard is know good work on other SGI gear I have and other keyboards give the same results.

Any ideas or feedback is appreciated.

Thanks
