The IT guy of my company found this laptop in the attic and because
it has no Wifi, nobody is interested in using it anymore. As I said,
I could make use of it as a build machine and for this it must run CURRENT
and no older versions. I will install the USB booted system to harddisk
and hope when booted from disk and not from USB the keyboard is working.
Ofc, I would be willing to help debugging this, for example compiling a
kernel with special options and/or debug printfs; but I can't start such
a debug path on my own, because I have no clue about where to start.
