| I get the same sort of problem. I have a ps/2 keyboard, which works fine during the install from 1.1a stage 1 iso, works fine in the grub boot menu, all of the booting seems to work, the login prompt comes up, but the keyboard doesn't work. |

does this mean it's a bug in the kernel config files? I've used make menuconfig and make config, and they both generate kernels which do not work with a ps2 keyboard. what's the solution? to hand edit the config file after a make menuconfig? which options do I specifically need?
New info: following the hint in this thread, I compiled a 2.4.18 kernel, and the keyboard works fine. it seems 2.4.19 is broken. |
