Re: 2.6.9 & 2.6.10 unresponsive to keyboard upon bootup

Dmitry,

I have tried kernels 2.6.9-rc2-bk3 and 2.6.9-rc2-bk4. I first copied the .config from the stripped-down 2.6.10 into the 2.6.9- directories and then ran make oldconfig (hopefully make oldconfig works in reverse?). Then I built and ran the kernels. Both exhibit the same behavior as 2.6.10 regarding the keyboard.

The /var/log/{dmesg,syslog,messages,kern.log} files for both kernels are available at:

PS: I forgot the log_buf_len=131072, hope it's ok for you...
PPS: I also forgot "acpi=off". Should I re-run these tests?

Dmitry,

kernel bootup, syslog and dmesg outputs are here:

http://roey.freeshell.org/mystuff/kernel/

all end in "-20050103"

This is with "acpi=off" as you instructed.


That is even wierdier. The keyboard controller does not respond to the
most basic command. I have seen one report of this happening
(http://bugme.osdl.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3830) but acpi=off helped in
that case. I wonder, when you tried acpi=off, did you power off your
box or just rebooted?

The big input update went in with 2.6.9-rc2-bk4. Could you please try
bk3 and bk4 to verify that this update is causing the problems or we
shoudl look elsewhere.

I am CCing Vojtech, maybe he has some ideas...
