Subject: commit a802dd0e breaks console keyboard input
Date: Thu, 23 Oct 2008 17:09:24 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <49011234.7090902@gmail.com> (raw)

Hi team,

commit a802dd0eb5fc97a50cf1abb1f788a8f6cc5db635
Author: Heiko Carstens <heiko.carstens@de.ibm.com>
Date:   Mon Oct 13 23:50:08 2008 +0200

     Call init_workqueues before pre smp initcalls.

This commit causes the console login prompt to ignore my keystrokes
so I'm unable to log in (though ssh works fine).  Oddly, if I hit
ctrl-alt-delete the machine does reboot, but no other keystrokes
appear on the screen or have any effect that I can detect.

No surprise that this problem appears only on my dual-core amd64
machine, while the k7 single processor machine works normally.

I've not seen anyone else complaining on the linux list, so maybe
this is a BIOS bug on the affected machine?  It's an ECS mobo with
a GeForce6100PM-M2 chipset, and I use a ps/2 keyboard.

Thanks.
