Do you see any error message during boot? Such as: scprobe: keyboard reset FAILED (result...) Or, do you use a PS/2 mouse? Is it recognized correctly? The keyboard and the PS/2 mouse are both connected to the same keyboard controller and sometimes conflict with each other. Disable the `psm' device and see if your keyboard works. Kazu
