>Environment:
Motherboard is an ASUS TUA266 Socket 370 Motherboard (ALi Alladin Pro 5 Chipset)
with a Celeron 850 processor, and a Mitsubishi Diamond Touch keyboard
Model:		6511-PA
Extension No:	41/MIT
Part No:	99.P0181.T41

>Description:
	
After booting from CDROM iso image to do an install the keyboard does not
respond. The probe returns the line

device_probe_and_attach: atkbdc0 attach returned 6

(I Only saw this due to the 15 second SCSI delay)

The keyboard works up till this point.

The boot will continue to the first page of the install where you select 
from the dialog menu. At this point you die due to no keyboard.

NB there is no UserConfig action at all in this iso image, and 
catching the boot with the space bar prior to the autoboot
and using boot -c, then gives a screen full of endlessly scrolling
config> prompts. This is a crossed eyes guess but I think it is doing 
this

config> config> config> config>    .... ad nauseum wrapping at the line end.

>How-To-Repeat:
	
Reset button and boot the CDROM again
>Fix:
Currently installin from 3.4 RELEASE Cdroms and working it forward,
using the workaround from PR20495

ie
build a GENERIC (and any other kernel) with 
no flags on the line 

device atkbd0

instead of 

device atkdb0 flags 0x1
