Morris" To: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org Subject: 2.5.x keyboard oddities Message-Id: <20020504234908.39e71442.jpm@it-he.org> X-Mailer: Sylpheed version 0.6.2 (GTK+ 1.2.10; i686-pc-linux-gnu) Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org X-Mailing-List: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org The other day I finally got a 2.5 kernel (2.5.13) to compile and boot. One of the major stumbling (crashing) blocks seems to be DEVFS, so I simply disabled it and booted the kernel. The system appears to have come up completely now, except for the keyboard which is totally frozen throughout the entire boot process. I don't have another PC but I might try and get my Psion Series 5 to act as a VT100 terminal and go in through serial. The keyboard is a bog-standard AT 102 keyboard, attached through a AT/PS2 converter to an ABIT KT133 ATX motherboard.. no USB stuff. Keyboard is turned on in the input devices option in kernel config. But it's utterly dead: even ALT-SYSRQ-B.
