In the first one, the AT keyboard seems to be working. Is this when you run the system without the docking station? In the second dmesg output the AT keyboard failed to reset. Ok. Another suggestion. Set the flags 0x3 to atkbd in you kernel configuration file: device atkbd0 at atkbdc? irq 1 flags 0x3 This will avoid resetting the keyboard when the kernel starts. >The keyboard is a 104 key PS/2 Compaq keyboard.

Our kernel may be having difficulty in communicating with the keyboard via the docking station. The keyboard controller in the notebook computers sometimes have slightly different features and exhibit different behavior than the keyboard controller on the normal mothorboard... >Thanks for your help, > >Claude.
