2.5.7 keyboard problem

2.5.7 keyboard problem

[Louis Adamich]

I'm having a problem getting my keyboard to work on 2.5.7.  2.5.5 
compiled and works correctly for me.  2.5.7 compiles with no errors as 
well as all modules compiling with no errors.  No matter what 
combination of config params I try I can't get the system to recognize 
keystrokes.  If I boot to level 3 I just see nothing when I type.  If I 
boot into X I can move the mouse around until I press a key and then the 
mouse freezes.  The machine is still running as I can telnet into it 
from another machine.  I also tried downloading and applying the dj 
patch.  Same symptoms.

Machine is an Althon XP 1800+, soyo dragon plus motherboard, ATI 128 
video card, 40 gig ide hard drive.

What info do I need to post to get some help debugging this thing?

Thanks,

Louis Adamich

This should get you pointed in the right direction.

Jup, I've got to confirm this: PS/2 keyboards won't work on my
VIA KT133A-based board on both 2.5.8 vanilla and -dj2/3.
(no, not even IBM Model M. :D)

an excerpt from the 2.5.8 .config in question:
.
.
CONFIG_INPUT=y
CONFIG_INPUT_KEYBDEV=y
CONFIG_INPUT_MOUSEDEV=y
.
.
CONFIG_SERIO=y
CONFIG_SERIO_SERPORT=y
.

just to complement the former post: a "dmesg|grep -i keyb" reveals:

keyboard: Timeout - AT keyboard not present?(ed)
keyboard: Timeout - AT keyboard not present?(f4)

Wrong config for DJ tree. Here is what you need for PS/2 input keyboard
support.

CONFIG_SERIO=y
CONFIG_SERIO_I8042=y
CONFIG_I8042_REG_BASE=60
CONFIG_I8042_KBD_IRQ=1
CONFIG_I8042_AUX_IRQ=12

Also don't forget 

CONFIG_INPUT_KEYBOARD=y
CONFIG_KEYBOARD_ATKBD=y

CONFIG_INPUT_MOUSE=y
CONFIG_MOUSE_PS2=y

Yes, I'm aware, maybe I should have included the -dj .config as well.
Same results I'm afraid.

I am experiencing a similar problem, though my keyboard works, but no
mouse is detected. I have built a 2.5.7-dj4 kernel with the supplied
config on an IBM thinkpad 600E (ps2 mouse, etc)
