Until now I thought I just had a faulty keyboard, as my method to fix this was to unplug the keyboard and plug it back in after bootup. When this happens, I see this in dmesg as the last line:
input: AT Translated Set 2 keyboard on isa0060/serio0
I am also having problems with my AUX mouse, as seen in message
Subject: 2.6.12-rc5-mm1 breaks serio: i8042 AUX port
Frank, are you having problems with your ps/2 mouse port as well?
I haven't spent enough time experimenting with this, as I thought it might have had something to to with my hardware / KVM switch. Seeing Frank's message is the reason why I've decided to chime back in on this.
As a clarification, I have been having these keyboard problems intermittently, regardless of whether I'm using -mm or mainline kernel. I was NOT having this problem in 2.6.11 I wasn't having the psaux mouse problems in 2.6.11 either .... I unplugged my psaux mouse from that machine before 2.6.12-mainline was released, so I don't know if those symptoms are still present. (using USB mouse now instead). I am currently in my office, so I can't test this right now, and I will be away for this weekend. I'll be able to make these tests again come Sunday night/Monday. ...and I will try it this time WITHOUT the kvm switch.
