KDB relies on the kernel to get information about the I/O devices, your kernel thinks that it has an PC keyboard controller. Turn off CONFIG_VT_CONSOLE. Note: you have to select CONFIG_EMBEDDED first, if EMBEDDED is not set then you always get a VT and its associated PC keyboard. --------------------------- Use http://oss.sgi.com/ecartis to modify your settings or to unsubscribe.
