I have been fighting with this issue off and on for the last couple of
months and it is the only reason that I'm still using a 2.4.x kernel.
Every time I build a 2.6.x kernel it boots ok but the keyboard is not
recognized. It detects the mouse on startup but moving it around
doesn't get a mouse cursor on the screen. The real issue is the
keyboard; once I can get a kernel up and running then I can dig into it
and try to find out what is wrong. I mention the mouse because I think
that it may have to do with Human Input Device subsystem (where both the
keyboard and the mouse reside). In a 2.4 kernel I get:
keyboard: Timeout - AT keyboard not present?(ed)
keyboard: Timeout - AT keyboard not present?(f4)
in 2.6, as it is shutting down, I get:
input: AT Translated Set 2 keyboard on isa0060/serio0
The machine is a SuperMicro P6DBE motherboard with an Intel 440BX
chipset, w/ 2 Pentium II processors (400MHz) and both the mouse and
keyboard are PS2 devices plugged directly into the motherboard. Any
help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
The River Rat
