As I indicated (I thought) in my original post: I use only ps2 products. I am an experienced debian installer. I install debian servers in high volume server environments. I store medical images on debian servers. I CARE about the debian install system and I use debian in all my latest systems (>30 working debian servers...). Standard PS/2 keyboard. I tried my usual pair of Microsoft Internet Keyboard and microsoft Intellimouse 1.2a ps2 mouse as well as trying knock off keyboards and mice. I think it is the kernel in the new installer. I repeat I have installed on this system Woody and Sarge many times with no problem. This keyboard failure to recognize happens with the debian etch installer or if I upgrade a sarge install system on that box to the 2.6.15 debian kernel. I have done 2 ab initio installs of sarge -> upgrade desktop system to sid. Works with keyboard. Then upgrade kernel from sarge 2.6.8 to 2.6.15 no keyboard, and can only log in and use system via ssh. I have posted ouput from dmesg|input in that kernel - only sees the speaker no keyboard or mouse dmesg on an upgraded sarge system with the 2.6.8 kernel tells me the following serio: i8042 AUX port at 0x60,0x64 irq 12 serio: i8042 KBD port at 0x60,0x64 irq 1 input: AT Translated Set 2 keyboard on isa0060/serio0 atkbd.c: Spurious ACK on isa0060/serio0. Some program, like XFree86, might be trying access hardware directly. atkbd.c: Spurious ACK on isa0060/serio0. Some program, like XFree86, might be trying input: PS/2 Generic Mouse on isa0060/serio1 On this motherboard the keyboard and mouse live on a subsystem called isa0060 I have checked that the debian kernel activates ISA: /boot/config-2.6.15-1-k7-smp:CONFIG_ISA=y I dont know what the problem is.
