[Bug 300693] Re: Thinkpad T61p hardlock flashing caps lock

[SlaveToSoftware]

I've got a more linux savvy friend who told me that Ubuntu doesn't load the
package for getting an oops by default.  I haven't looked into it further,
but if this is true, then it would explain the lack of an oops.

Tell me what to type at a shell prompt and I'll tell you about the IRQ.
