Hi,

We have a Toshiba Sattelite 4030 here that, with either 2.2.7 on an
updated RedHat 5.2 or on a stock RedHat 6.0 kernel simply refuses to
respond to the keyboard unless you either press keys all through the
boot process, or boot it single user, type sufficiently many keystrokes
(probably about 100) and then go multi user.

There is nothing suspicous in the logs, and telneting into it shows that
the interrupt counters for the keyboard and mouse do not increase.

Any ideas?
