Could it be that the machine is on a KVM switch? There are some KVM switches
which will not detect keyboard/mouse if the switch is not on that machine's
channel during POST check

Roger,
The i8042 refers to the keyboard controller. Could there be a BIOS
configuration error on the machine (kbd port disabled)? Could the mouse &
keyboard cables be swapped? Was the keyboard plugged in after the machine
was powered up (I've seen kbd controllers zapped this way)?

I have an NT 4.0 client on which I applied the latest Windows Update patches
this past weekend and after rebooting neither the keyboard or mouse are
working (makes it hard to login). Connecting to the event log remotely I
see a couple messages relating to msi8042 and then kbclas and mouclas.
I'd rather stick with NT on this machine but will install Win2000Pro if I
can't get it going.
Suggestions?
