Attempting to debug this piece of code with printf's is futile!! You
need to either use an Intel ICE emulator or use inline asm outb's to
a latch port with LED's on it.
Attempting to call printf ofter an unmap of the address space usually
sends you to never never land.
Put the code back to the stock code and try just the option to not
use the keyboard reset. Your printfs may be causing more problems.
If this still fails let me know..., it means you have 2 bugs, a broken
keyboard controller, and a motherboard that does not correctly detect
a CPU shutdown condition. Not that uncommon in the high volume low
dollar VLB ISA motherboard market :-(. The real sad news is I don't have
another alternative at this time to try to make the thing report, perhaps
it has the port 92 alternate reset logic.
