getting magic sysrq to work on SuSE Linux



Dear Linux managers,

I have attempted to get the magic sysrq key to work on a variety of SuSE
systems but without any success. I've read the documentation and as far as
I can see everything is in place, but nothing happens at all when I press
Alt-Sysrq-h

Here are some details from an example system (the kernel is as supplied
by SuSE):

pollux$ gunzip -c /proc/config.gz | grep -i sysrq
CONFIG_MAGIC_SYSRQ=y
pollux$ cat /proc/sys/kernel/sysrq
1
pollux$ cat /proc/version
Linux version 2.4.16-64GB-SMP (root@SMP_X86.suse.de) (gcc version 2.95.3
20010315 (SuSE)) #1 SMP Fri Mar 22 16:07:47 GMT 2002
pollux$ cat /etc/SuSE-release
SuSE Linux 7.3 (i386)
VERSION = 7.3

When I run 'showkey -s' it displays 0x38 when the Alt key is pressed and
0x54 when the SysRQ key is added.

This machine has a KVM switch but it doesn't work on workstations
either.

Does anyone have any bright ideas as to what might be missing? Does it
definitely work on SuSE-built kernels?

Thanks,
Bob
