I've got a PCI mainboard that simply doesn't grok > it, so continuing with a warning (and a keyboard that's working > nevertheless :) seems to be better than spin-looping forever. Does it work if you fix the well known `!retries' logic bug (the infinite loop always gets entered if the first loop fails (retries == -1)). I have a keyboard with a partly broken cable or connector which causes interesting problems for keyboard drivers. The BIOS keyboard driver seems to handle transient disconnections better than syscons. Perhaps it issues a reset when the keyboard stops working. Bruce
