No my keyboard is locked not responsive just the numLock led is on, so
unable to control-alt-F2 :-(

I found a 500Gb ssd inside one of the old machines and I started from scratch.
Pulled out the two cables from the harddisks and plugged in the ssd, installed
debian-10.10.0-amd64-netinst.iso then tried to compile kernel 5.12.13 from
kernel.org and voila et success.

And under 13 minutes to full compile.
Also compiled linux-next-next-20210625 no issues, everything is good again.

Someday I want to try and figure out what is going on with the original system.

Oh, and Thomas Syslog tells me :

Jun 25 10:46:42 debian systemd-modules-load[201]: Failed to find module 'vmhgfs'
Jun 25 10:46:42 debian systemd[1]: Failed to start Load Kernel Modules.
Jun 25 10:46:42 debian systemd[1]: Unit systemd-modules-load.service
entered failed state.

Does that make sense to you or anyone ? Anyways things are all good. I
just have to pull out cables
and hook up the ssd when I feel like compiling a kernel, which I can
live with :-)

Cindy Sue Causey I was wondering is there a 'reason' you are sticking
with 'lilo' and not
moving to grub2 ?

Thank you everyone for all the help and support - Aruna
