There seems to be a problem with the whole process here somewhere. A number of poeple tell me they have keyboard problems when upgrading. With lots of different ways of getting around the problem. Wouldn't it be better to find the root cause? In my case, 4.0-RELEASE works fine from a CD install. Upgrading to 4.2-STABLE. (src-all, ports-all, doc-all) buildworld, installworld, buildkernel, installkernel leaves me with a dead keyboard. There seems to be some interaction between it and the mouse, but I can't see what that would be. A search of dmesg, and boot -v output shows these obvious things, but nothing else that is obvious. First the Keyboard is returning '6' not 0. No idea what that means? =========================== 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 ============================ The USB port on 4.0-RELEASE works correctly, returning the name and company etc associated with the device attached to it. This output from 4.2-STABLE shows it failing - It's not showing what is attached to the port at all, in fact disabling it. ============================ usb0: <Intel 82371AB/EB (PIIX4) USB controller> on uhci0 usb0: USB revision 1.0 uhub0: Intel UHCI root hub, class 9/0, rev 1.00/1.00, addr 1 uhub0: 2 ports with 2 removable, self powered uhub0: device problem, disabling port 2 ============================ Apparently something has changed between 4.0 and 4.2 in these areas. They may not even be relasted to the keyboard problem - althoug hpart 1 certainly is. Do any of the developers have any ideas how to fix this? Everything else appears to be fine?
