Most recent kernel where this bug did not occur: 2.6.18 Distribution: Debian Hardware Environment: MS Virtual PC 2007 Software Environment: Debian "testing" Problem Description: PS/2 mouse not detected on MS Virtual PC 2007 Steps to reproduce: When Linux 2.6.18 boots, I get these messages: --- PNP: PS/2 Controller [PNP0303:PS2K,PNP0f03:PS2M] at 0x60,0x64 irq 1,12 serio: i8042 AUX port at 0x60,0x64 irq 12 serio: i8042 KBD port at 0x60,0x64 irq 1 --- but with the 2.6.21 or 2.6.22 kernel, I don't see the "AUX port" line, and the mouse is not detected. Sorry, I didn't get a chance to test with 2.6.19 or .20. Forwarded from: http://bugs.debian.org/433815
There's a known workaround for this bug : Pass "i8042.noloop=1" kernel parameter at boot prompt. I could not test 2.6.24 as it's affected by #463606 but : http://kerneltrap.org/mailarchive/linux-input/2007/11/17/425987 Franklin
I could finally boot VPC under 2.6.24 (Debian's 486, not the default 686 one) I confirm this bug is closed in 2.6.24.

Thanks for the confirmation
