I recently installed the k7-SMP debian kernel and after rebooting the ps/2 keyboard stopped working. Remotely via ssh I can login and everything is working fine. I then went back to the generic 386 kernel I had before and the keyboard works fine. There is a some convoluted history that I should mention. This machine is a dual processsor athlon system (hence the need for k7-SMP). The original drive in the machine died, and I replaced it with a drive that already had a fresh install of debian 3.1 on it. The drive is a backup drive for some k6-2 machines I have. They're still running 3.1. The drive had just Base installed on it, no extra X or gnome packages, etc. These machines have drive trays, with only the OS on /dev/hda, so if the drive failed, I could just pop in a backup drive, edit a few config files, apt-get a few programs and the box was back in service. After installing the drive in the dual athlon, I updated 3.1 to the latest 3.1 (oldstable), then upgraded it to 4.0. The upgrade went well, except it was running the default debian kernel 2.6.8-2-386. That's when I installed the debian 2.6.18-5-k7-smp kernel, and lost my keyboard. I can boot the previous kernel and my keyboard works. My upgrade was: apt pointed to oldstable: apt-get update ; apt-get upgrade
apt pointed to stable: apt-get update apt-get install aptitude (which also pulled down a new libc6, and a few others) aptitude -f --with-recommends dist-upgrade (hotplug was removed, and udev installed) Rebooted, etc everything good, I then installed k7-smp and lost the keyboard. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
