PS/2 keyboard fails on 2.4.6 and up SMP

Hi,

    When I first tried linux 2.4.6 I found that my keyboard failed and I
could not log into my system - at the time I didn't have time to play so
just went back to good ole stable 2.2.19 and forgot about it.. I now
wanted to try 2.4.7-ac10 w. ide, crypto and LVM patches and the same thing
is happening. One of the bootup messages shows:

keyboard: Timeout - AT keyboard not present?(ed)

However the keyboard is certainly present and works under earlier 2.4 and
2.2 kernels without any problems. System is a dual PIII-700. Attached are
gzip'd dmesg and .config's.

Does anyone know whats going on here before I start trial and error'ing to
find a solution?

Cheers,

Chris

Same thing happened to me with 2.4.7 UP, T-bird and KT133A mobo. 

Got the timeouts, and one keystroke every minute got through, mouse was
similarly fscked. Was enough to catch my ctrl+alt+delete fortunately.. and
it worked next time I rebooted. 

I just wrote it off as an AMD/KT133A Linux incompatibility but now it
seems like something else might be responsible...
