Comments/Problems:

Using the HP USB keyboard (Model SK-2502U, P/N A4983-60401) on an HP C3600,
the regular 4 arrow keys (seperate from the numeric keypad) do NOT work.
They "select" instead of moving the highlight up/down.

Use the numeric keypad instead - it has "arrow keys" on it as well.

It's more "natural" to use the regular arrow keys and it should be
trivial for the right person to fix.  I gather the numeric pad sends
out a different scan code than the four "arrow" keys.

I only needed to boot the system to recover a palo (v1.4 built with gcc
3.3.3) which fails to boot.

I also have a SK-2502U here (using Voodoo2 as graphics card).

xev reports the following for the 'regular' arrow keys:

'<-'     keycode 100
'->'     keycode 102
  up     keycode 98
down     keycode 104

and the following for the numpad arrow keys:

'<-'     keycode 83
'->'     keycode 85
  up     keycode 80
down     keycode 88


Unfortunately I can't use 'showkey' since I'm running serial console
instead of fb console ...

Greetings,
   Max

 I have found that the "arrow keys" both move the highlight and select.
This is from my experience on the console using bash on a B1K using some
crappy usb keyboard.

The attached patch should fix the keyboard problem.
Any feedback welcome...
