2.6.0 keyboard not working

2.6.0 keyboard not working

[Lennert Buytenhek]

Hi,

Halfway between having uncompressed the kernel and starting init, the console
starts to scroll "atkbd.c: Unknown key pressed", mentioning key code 0 (IIRC),
even though no keys are pressed at all.  After a while, the scrolling stops,
but the keyboard still doesn't work.  2.4 works fine on the same hardware.

Hardware is an Intel SE7505VB2 board with dual 2.40GHz Xeon processors,
and a Logitech PS/2 "Internet keyboard."

Ideas?


thanks,
Lennert

It's attached in .gz format (sorry, it wouldn't go through otherwise :/).

Thanks Lennert, could you try without CONFIG_HIGHMEM64G, perhaps just
CONFIG_HIGHMEM4G, how much memory in the system? dmesg also would be nice.

I had exactly the same symptoms (Unknown key pressed, scrolling) with a
Cherry PS/2 keyboard an a PS/2 mouse, starting with 2.6.0-test6 (i think).
The mouse also stopped working.

Unfortunatly it was a heisenbug - every time i tried to find out what caused
the problem (there where drivers/input/mouse* - changes at that time) the
problem disapeared. I then exchanged the mouse for a USB-type and the
problem disappeared completly.

Hi Zwane, I just finished checking, and without highmem and with HIGHMEM4G
it works just fine, only with 64G I get the 'Unknown key pressed' flood which
I described.  I had 64G on because I copied my .config from Arjan's 2.6 RPMs,
none of which worked on this machine because of those keyboard troubles.  The
box has 1G of RAM.

Thanks!  Anything else I can try?

Thanks for testing that, Dan Creswell <dan@dcrdev.demon.co.uk> mentioned a
similar problem with an e7505 Tyan board he has too.

> Thanks!  Anything else I can try?

I'd love to see dmesg and /proc/iomem for CONFIG_HIGHMEM4G and
CONFIG_HIGHMEM64G.
