xen + pvops dom0: keyboard not working

xen + pvops dom0: keyboard not working

[Sven Köhler]

Hi,

when booting xen 4.1 with latest konrad/stable/2.6.39.x branch (both
64bit) under virtualbox, the keyboard is seriously broken. I haven't
tested on real hardware yes, but without xen, the kernel works fine.

I see the same issue when booting 3.0-rc1.

Strange thing is:
the old 2.6.18 kernel with xen 4.1 inside virtualbox is just fine.

Do you consider this a bug? If so, I will try to provide additional
information. Or do you think this might be a bug in virtualbox?


Regards,
  Sven

What is "seriously broken"? And what about serial logs, /proc/interrupts
etc?

There was one patch added in past 3.0-rc2 to fix PS/2 keyboards
not working right. Not sure if I merged it in stable/2.6.39.x.
Anyhow, you can get the fix by polling the latest linus/master

No idea. without some idea of what is broken, or what the
proc/interrupts, or what the linux kernel says about the keyboard
I have no idea.

I will try latest 3.0-rc2 to see whether that fixes the issue.
If not, I will provide more detail.

Tried 3.0-rc2-git4 and the issue didn't occur.
