Hi kernel-devs,
[1.]
a keyboard that is connected to to PS/2 port does not work with
kernel 2.6.15. That is to say that no action is seen at the login
promt if I enter any key.
[2.]
I used PS/2 keyboards for a long time with kernels < 2.6.15
like 2.6.14.2, 2.6.13 or 2.6.11.10. I used "make oldconfig" to move
the .config file form 2.6.14.2 to 2.6.15 and answered "no" to every
question¹
The keyboard is pluged the right way since I can walk around in the
lilo menu before the kernel is being loaded. If I choose another
kernel the PS/2 keyboard does work. I can connect to the pc with a
running 2.6.15 from another pc using ssh. Everything looks normal,
there are no strange errors in /var/log/syslog or from the output
dmesg. I can also use the soundcard...
I also tried another keyboard that do work on kernels < 2.6.15 with
no success.
I cannot tell if the PS/2 mouse does not work either since I cannot
start X.
