Hi,

Lately, ever since I upgraded my kernel (both old and new are stock debian-pure64 version 2.6.11) I've been experiencing keyboard problems.


The keyboard always works fine in the bootloader menu (grub), and also no problems when I boot another kernel (e.g. 2.6.8 amd64).

However when you boot the new kernel, many times the keyboard stops responding very early in the boot process (I can see that the NumLock led does not work when you press Num-Lock, and also crtl-S does not work), and never wakes up again (I can ssh from another machine, but could not find a way to fix that other than rebooting and hoping for the best).


Further information follows. If anyone has some idea how to further diagnose this, I'll be grateful.


----------------------


Kernel versions: Debian amd64 package: "kernel-image-2.6.11-9-amd64-k8", the upgrade was from previous version to current one, which is has debian-version of 2.6.11-3.

If I understand the debian kernel build scripts correctly, it seems that the major change in this update is upgrading from upstream 2.6.11.6 to 2.6.11.7.

keyboard driver is compiled into kernel, psmouse as a module.


dmesg output:

-------------------------

The one I got after a "bad" boot (using ssh from other maching):

For comparison here's one after a "good":

  http://www.tau.ac.il/~kinetet/amit/dmesg.out


Notice the first difference is psmouse failing to load (just after the rtc check):

psmouse.c: Failed to enable mouse on isa0060/serio1

also it seems that there are some USB problems later.


input/serio related outputs (same in both cases):

Some IRQ/IO-mem info (only difference seems to be related to the usb driver not loading):
