Bug 20495

Summary: 4.1-STABLE and 4.1-RELEASE: keyboard doesn't work after booting
Product: Base System Reporter: gavin <gavin>
Component: i386Assignee: yokota <yokota>
Status: Closed FIXED    
Severity: Affects Only Me    
Priority: Normal    
Version: 4.1-RELEASE   
Hardware: Any   
OS: Any   

Description gavin 2000-08-09 07:10:00 UTC 
After bootong from the floppies to do an install the keyboard does not respond. The keyboard is probed.

The motherboard is a Mitsubishi ps/2. The problem also exists with a honeywell pro keyboard.

The same fault occurs both with 4.1-STABLE and 4.1-RELEASE.

The error crept in a couple of days before 4.1 was released and a dmesg of one of the machine was posted to stable@freebsd.org

The fix I found was to install 4.0 then upgrade via source to 4.1-STABLE
and in the kernel config file on the
  device          atkbd0
line, I took out the
  flags 0x1
that the GENERIC kernel was made with.

After that change everything goes fine.

Hi,

Noticed this on my crusade to get critical PRs closed; it looks like 
it's been fixed, so could someone please close it?

Thanks

Keith
