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.
