Subject:   who broke keyboards again?
Message-ID:  <20040401213559.GZ26131@elvis.mu.org>

I have a client that has several dell machines, when he boots without
a keyboard he gets:

  atkbdc0: <Keyboard controller (i8042)> at port 0x60,0x64 on isa0

but no:
  atkbd0: <AT Keyboard> flags 0x1 irq 1 on atkbdc0
  kbd0 at atkbd0

This used to work, then was broken by someone trying to "do the right
thing".

We need the keyboards to be hot swappable.  I recommend that the next
dork that breaks this should have to reenact the lye scene from Fight
Club.

No other OS has this problem.  Also, breaking this in -stable is
super lame, c'mon can't we do better?
