I have been experimenting with USB legacy and with PS2 versus USB and
the result is:
1. PS2 keyboard in combination with SMP gives the same result, it just
takes longer to happen.
2. disabling USB legacy results in the BIOS not recognizing any
keyboard. It does recognize the mouse even though both keyboard and
mouse are wireless and thus connected through the same USB device.
3. Only the UP-kernel is trouble free (as far as USB/PS2 keyboard is
concerned).
I have also found a bug that describes my problem (more or less) so I
added comments to it:
Bug 154539 processed: Kernel 2.6.11-1.14 & 2.6.11-1.27 break USB
mouse/keyboard.
There is another bug-report (162865) that may apply as weel: there is a
bug in the combination dual core processor + power now. Check the latest
kernel from testing. That fixed my problems on my AMD64 X2.....

Thanks for the hint. I had already updated to 2.6.13, so I executed the
suggested statements including kudzu. However, after rebooting in the
smp kernel, after a while the OS stops responding to the keyboard. This
is a change from the old situation, where the OS would repeat the last
key extremely fast, rendering the keyboard useless too.
Bottomline though is: it doesn't work yet.
Anyway, thanks for the hint.
Guus.
