Certainly seems to be moving backwards in that respect - from 2.4.6
onwards the bog standard PS/2 keyboard does not work (at all from bootup -
"keyboard: Timeout - AT keyboard not present?(ed)") on my SMP VIA w. G400
(although I've not got as far as loading X on it without the keyboard!) :(

I can't even see what's changed in 2.4.6 that might cause this - soft_irq?
or is that completely unrelated to the keyboard???
