I have also had similar problems using 2.6.0-1.21 but only when using the smp kernel. I managed to get loaded by setting pci=noacpi in the kernel params. 2.6.0 test 9 is ok with smp but with smp -1.21 I lose the kb and mouse and with smp -1.104 I get a kernel panic at about the stage where it detects the serial io. All the up versions load ok My hardware is MSI MOB with dual PIII and a Dell kbd I'd welcome a clue about how to get diagnostics from the kernel panic Laurie Yates -----Original Message----- From: fedora-list-admin@xxxxxxxxxx [mailto:fedora-list-admin@xxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Dave Jones Sent: 24 December 2003 16:46 To: fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: Fedora Core 1.0, kernel-2.6.0-0 & PS2 keyboard problem On Wed, Dec 24, 2003 at 10:36:49AM -0500, Cokey de Percin wrote: > I'm having problems using a ps2 keyboard with the just released 2.6 > kernel and Core 1.0.

As you're not averse to building your own kernels, you could try flipping the debug switch on in drivers/input/serio/i8042.c (line 42, just s/undef/define/) That should produce a slew of output as it detects the keyboard/mouse and when you hit/release a key. If it actually does spew output, then this could be one of the corner cases the new input core doesn't handle yet (keyboard handling was completely rewritten, and some keyboards don't quite follow the specs it seems), in which case, the maintainer of this code (vojtech@xxxxxxx) would probably like to hear about it.
