If there's no PS/2 keyboard attached at boot time, FBSD will unload the atkbd driver to a give a change to the driver for a USB keyboard and (rather infuriatingly for me) won't allow re-connection of a PS/2 keyboard until you either kbdcontrol it (how, if you haven't got a working keyboard?) or power cycle the box. Similar problems occur if you also don't have a USB keyboard attached. Your blade centre is probably only "connecting" a keyboard when you need it, so you should treat it like a headless server. In your kernel config change this line: device atkbd0 at atkbdc? irq 1 flags 0x1 For this one: device atkbd0 at atkbdc? irq 1 This means that the PS/2 atkbd driver will be loaded even if a keyboard is not actually connected at boot time. If that doesn't fix it in your blade centre, then it's because it's providing a "USB keyboard" to the blade not a PS/2 keyboard, and I don't know how to fix that one because I've never had the problem. Hope that helps somehow. -- Paul Robinson http://www.iconoplex.co.uk/ _______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-hackers To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
