2.6.0-test1/2 won't let me use keyboard

2.6.0-test1/2 won't let me use keyboard

[adri]

hi all,
I have a problem compiling 2.6.0-test1, and later 2.6.0-test2.
booting the kernel goes well, but when i try to log in my system,
keyboard seems to be crazy, and when i press a key, it writes the same
key for almost 4 times, so it is very impossible log in.
/var/log/syslog don't seems to have something strange.
my system is a laptop hp pavilion ze4200, lspci tells me:
00:00.0 Host bridge: ATI Technologies Inc: Unknown device cab0 (rev 13)
00:01.0 PCI bridge: ATI Technologies Inc U1/A3 AGP Bridge [IGP 320M]
(rev 01)
00:02.0 USB Controller: ALi Corporation USB 1.1 Controller (rev 03)
00:06.0 Multimedia audio controller: ALi Corporation M5451 PCI AC-Link
Controller Audio Device (rev 02)
00:07.0 ISA bridge: ALi Corporation M1533 PCI to ISA Bridge [Aladdin IV]
00:08.0 Modem: ALi Corporation Intel 537 [M5457 AC-Link Modem]
00:0a.0 CardBus bridge: O2 Micro, Inc. OZ6912 Cardbus Controller
00:0c.0 FireWire (IEEE 1394): Texas Instruments TSB43AB21
IEEE-1394a-2000 Controller (PHY/Link)
00:10.0 IDE interface: ALi Corporation M5229 IDE (rev c4)
00:11.0 Bridge: ALi Corporation M7101 PMU
00:12.0 Ethernet controller: National Semiconductor Corporation DP83815
(MacPhyter) Ethernet Controller
01:05.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc Radeon Mobility
U1

i try to use 2.6.0-test1, test1-ac1, test1-mm1, test1-bk2, test2, with
always the same result.

is there someone who can help don't get crazy?

thanks
adri

Could you compile i8042.c with #define DEBUG instead of #undef DEBUG
and report what that yields in the syslog?

yes, because the very long report, i prefer to put it in:
http://www.archetti.org/syslog

I also read about some keyboard failure dues at the new kernel, so i'm
still tring using patch i see in lkml.

many thanks for your interesting, i hope to easy solve the problem ;))

well, i investigate into my problem, building kernel with debug, and i
noticed some strange...
when the system boot up it load mouse without problem:

drivers/input/serio/i8042.c: d4 -> i8042 (command) [562]
drivers/input/serio/i8042.c: 14 -> i8042 (parameter) [562]
drivers/input/serio/i8042.c: fa <- i8042 (interrupt, aux, 12) [564]
Synaptics Touchpad, model: 1
 Firmware: 5.8
 Sensor: 35
 new absolute packet format
 Touchpad has extended capability bits
 -> multifinger detection
 -> palm detection
input: Synaptics Synaptics TouchPad on isa0060/serio1

then it start to search for the aux port, with success:

drivers/input/serio/i8042.c: d4 -> i8042 (command) [584]
drivers/input/serio/i8042.c: f4 -> i8042 (parameter) [584]
drivers/input/serio/i8042.c: fa <- i8042 (interrupt, aux, 12) [586]
serio: i8042 AUX port at 0x60,0x64 irq 12

and for the last it find the keyboard:

drivers/input/serio/i8042.c: 00 -> i8042 (kbd-data) [629]
drivers/input/serio/i8042.c: fa <- i8042 (interrupt, kbd, 1) [631]
drivers/input/serio/i8042.c: 41 <- i8042 (interrupt, kbd, 1) [640]
input: AT Set 2 keyboard on isa0060/serio0
serio: i8042 KBD port at 0x60,0x64 irq 1

but here the problem is the same: when i press a key it seems that i
press this keys for almost 4 time (eg. i press "a", and it give me
"aaaa")
when i try to stop my system, i pressed alt+sysrq, +s, for sync, +u for
mounting read only, and i mistake and pressed alt+sysrq+i, so i killed
every task.
well, i noticed here, with debug still on, that when i pressed a key, it
received only one pressure:
drivers/input/serio/i8042.c: 0c <- i8042 (interrupt, kbd, 1) [168545]
but it write to standard output for characters.
i think the problem is just here, then, someone wants to help me to fix
this?

thanks
adri

ah, just for knowledge, my keyboard is the standard keyboard with laptop
hp pavilion ze4200...

Yes, thanks for confirming. The new input code generates the repeat
synthetically, by setting a timer, and that code must be buggy.

ok, thanks for your answer...
have you any idea of where to search and playing with that time to try
to find the bug?
btw, i'm always here to test... ;))

i apologies for the retard in my response but i have so much work in my
job...
i think the problem is in "rtc module not found": in that way it's
possible that the kernel wouldn't see the timer to stop my keyboard
repeat?
if so, please, let me know where i can find information to try to solve
the problem.
(i also apologies for my bad english!) ;))
thanks
