Description Felix K 2003-05-14 06:49:07 UTC

Distribution: Debian (Sarge)
Hardware Environment:

Laptop, AMD mobile Athlon XP 2000+
VIA Technologies, Inc. P/KN266 Host Bridge
No external keyboard connected (the thing doesn't even have a PS/2 connector).
Please let me know if there is any more useful information I can supply.

Software Environment:
Problem Description:

I can boot the kernel, but I can't input anything on the keyboard. I'm pretty
sure that this is not due to a bad configuration. I read the post-halloween-2.5
doc and some related bug reports. Here are the relevant parts from my .config:

CONFIG_INPUT=y
CONFIG_SERIO=y
CONFIG_SERIO_I8042=y
CONFIG_INPUT_KEYBOARD=y
CONFIG_KEYBOARD_ATKBD=y

I enabled DEBUG in i8042.c. I'll add the output (with 2.5.69-bk8) from kern.log
as an attachment.

Steps to reproduce:

Boot the system ;-)

2.5.70 .config file

I also had trouble with my keyboard not being recognized, but I eventually got
it to work. Just in case your problem was the same as mine, I'm attaching my
.config (you may have to change the processor and file system options to get it
to work for you).

Was fixed in the official kernel some time between 2.6.0-test1 and 2.6.0-test7.
Thanks!
