Dmitry,

I have placed the results of the patched 2.6.9-rc2-bk2 kernel at the
following address:

http://roey.freeshell.org/mystuff/kernel/*-20050112

As expected, the system was unresponsive to keyboard input.
Regarding your mouse question:
How do I test the mouse if they keyboard does not work (is there some
way to output the contents of /dev/psaux on startup? I'm not sure anymore
what file the mouse data appears in, too)
