Mentioned this probelm the other day when I first went from 4-0 RELEASE to 4.2-STABLE via cvsup. Once everything is installed, and rebooted, the keyboard becomes inactive. This time I logged in from the server across the network,and discover that the PS2-Mouse and the Keyboard are both using the same device ??? The rebuild used the GENERIC kernel. I can't remember the device adckbdc0 something like that. I dont' have it now to hand, because I have had to swap out the drive and reload the 2K server. But that explains why yesterday I noticed that the mouse was activated, and pressing keys interfered with the mouse - and I presume vic/versa. If they are both using the same device - no wonder. I made no alterations to GENERIC. Didn't even look at it. Just did the rebuild, kernelbuild and so on and reboote I'm sure this is something that needs looking at. 4.0-RELEASE worked fine. No conflicts. 4.2-STABLE conflicts. I can get in later and disable the mouse entirely - I dont need it, and so on and probably get the keyboard back, but that's not the issue. Perhaps someone working on this needs to take a peek at this area. Next time I boot it up, I'll save the dmesg file and keep it if you like.
