Any more details on my setup useful to analyse this further? I can live with this, if it is harmless... However, this message gets written on screen even when booting with this keyboard detached. At least once. There is no /etc/rc.syscons - at least at my system. I assume you mean /etc/rc.d/syscons. I did test it couple of times without keyboard, again, and this time message disappeared. With USB keyboard attached back, message reappears. So I think your idea is correct. Just a question - if it is not a bug, why this message at all? By the way, when doing these tests, once there was a problem - after attaching USB keyboard after booting, kernel detected ukbd0 arriving, but keyboard was 'dead' - no response to typing. After detaching it and attaching again, it worked. No idea why - but no idea anyway, how can I debug such a situation. Thanks for assistance. Regards, Milan N. B.: No need to CC, I read this list regularly.
