The most likely culprit that I can see is: # CONFIG_KEYBOARD_ATKBD is not set This controls the traditional PS/2 keyboard support (as well as the older AT keyboard, which used the same protocol, but a differently shaped connector), which I believe is what VBox emulates (as just about everything supports having a PS/2 keyboard). - -- Jonathan Callen -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2 iQIcBAEBCgAGBQJUjSsvAAoJELHSF2kinlg4sJkP+QGadsFTVAlofUottddMdopG C+ZBoEcYTRhmncMPUXWU4uValJbzQqSVpDQikTfumhYRJEEHx/zDeUa31neRS5xs dm/H36VpiBPHY7e66XE/VLOd+RatH84Pk6iFSt+GJjcWCZQOrYzPEeoKdhWwOrxW 3AZE1sX2c3/6oLEusoLOM4X+75fmpAI8WACEPNLV4XJqvkQIRE7jX1G1op8TCLny 35/QwzrE9hIrMJDuHyiWxFomWoqthqNubnq99byBnUhgXTOBVKKV6PXTd4rqFj8o zTbMfcndxu8VQxv3xaAK1zhcZfpwYuAQlsPREcnQ+948b2v1yWtb6xjpl3YMCRJj luzqYnoA2JsBw6egX+0yufdWTZgIOPLwYJOduqpJh6pdIq/wFw72j1czaWcYbHnB rib2twt5FWfHdtPw/WQwt8qdcUjTppp27VEY2xeCbZDCwpRikG+rqX2vqxYlH/Hy im5O7IuVJivmcSzot5AQu4idiPme81uhXklVBBvFIg4/IXXZca4s/N7IlOvzgLnL U2TkMQKB1SNpNGmtPcql4vGrkzVR2lb5Qccodjw22OJ0/msI1YXvpHSa8yfXgxZE 13xVl5ugqvgE0Hl5OM+ioMZYnDv37Uh3V98LWtVGVGPpceC5BMlAwyVRTWZqY2ie KEFn2GEPdQQ899YP6KA7 =DJZk -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
