This makes no difference to me. Also at boot time, I sometimes get messages: atkbd.c: Unknown key pressed (raw set 0, code 0x0 on isa0060/serio0) atkbd.c: Use 'setkeycodes 00 <keycode> to make it known. This appears several times after seeing: serio: i8042 KBD port at 0x60,0x64 irq1 If also see: Failed to disable AUX port, but continuing anyway... Is this a Sis? If AUX port is really absent please use the 'i8042.noaux' option serio: i8042 AUX port at 0x60,0x64 irq12 These last 3 messages disappear if I boot with i8042.noaux, but otherwise there is no difference. I DO have a PS/2 mouse port (with nothing plugged in). I think these symptoms are significant. I also get the following message: input: PS/2 Generic mouse on isa0060/serio which looks highly significant. I also get a message about trying to initialise an ohci1394, which ends with: FATAL: Module ohci1394 not found. On FC1 this was present in /lib/modules/*/kernel/drivers/ieee1394 This sounds really serious. -- Colin Paul Adams Preston Lancashire
