Hello All,

I have a strange situation where the PS/2 keyboard stops working after
booting to FreeBSD.  There is no mouse.

It works fine during POST, I can navigate and set BIOS settings, and can
even hit the 'enter' key to start booting FreeBSD immediately, but once
the machine starts booting the OS, the lights on the keyboard flash, then
go away, no more keyboard.


running OS is FreeBSD 4.3-RELEASE


I don't see anything in the kernel config file that would disable the
keyboard, and this is what I see in dmesg:


atkbdc0: <Keyboard controller (i8042)> at port 0x60,0x64 on isa0
atkbd0: <AT Keyboard> flags 0x1 irq 1 on atkbdc0
device_probe_and_attach: atkbd0 attach returned 6


I have not been succesfull in finding any documentation that covers what


device_probe_and_attach: atkbd0 attach returned 6


actually means.  Anyone on this list know?  Any other ideas, suggestions
on how to resolve this?  what to look for?  where to find documentation?

any help would be appreciated.

Alex M.
