My best friend's sister's boyfriend's brother's girlfriend heard from this guy who knows this kid who's going with a girl who heard auto245751@hushmail.com say... I can't find your other post so forvive me if this is redundant. When you boot into the system, can you use boot -c do so some config of the hardware. There are some flags you can add when specifying your keyboard. bit 0 (FAIL_IF_NO_KBD) 0x01 bit 1 (NO_RESET) 0x02 bit 2 (ALT_SCANCODESET) 0x04 example, device atkbd0 at isa? tty irq 1 flags 0x03 # for NO_RESET Worth a shot. My friend had a similar problem with a keyboard that just wouldn't work on Caldera Linux, but worked with everything else.
