I have got an old Pentium I machine too and kernels >=2.6.23_rc1 compiled with Gentoo toolchain reboot machine somewhere before or during kernel image decompression. Toolchain from Fedora produces runnable kernels. For more details see <http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=227271>. It could be the same bug. Created attachment 21969 [details]

Tricky. It'll be hard to motivate people to fix regressions in old pentium machines, I'm afraid. Is there any chance that you can do a bit of bisecting? http://landley.net/writing/git-quick.html has some help.. THanks. I should add that i8042.noaux makes this work on 2.6.30 I'll try some bisecting; I'll have to do two lots however since I'll have to figure out what got fixed recently that stopped kernels around 26.25ish rebooting then I guess try that fix on older ones to figure out where the keyboard broke. Dave This is fixed for me by Dmitry Torokhov's: Input: i8042 - try disabling and re-enabling AUX port at close patch posted to lkml on 2009-09-03. Dave In mainline so closing. |
