Even when booting with : > hint.atkbd.0.disabled="1", my keyboard still doesn't work. : : If the above procedure from Axel doesn't work for you, what exactly are you seeing at the moment. Does the keyboard : still "stop working" after sysinstal loads? Correct. I suspect it stops working earlier, though. (I wish the chassis' had a serial port.) I've just been playing with various aspects of the above, as well as a few other things, and what I'm seeing is that as soon as control is passed to the kernel, all keyboard LEDs stop working. They resume working when the keyboard is detected -- which it is, and seemingly accurately -- but the system doesn't respond to any key presses. I've tried with and without ACPI, with and without ispfw, disabling atkbd, setting atkbdc flags to 0x1, etc. The USB hub is detected, and both the keyboard and mouse are detected, but I have no control over the system whatsoever. I'd love to at least pull a boot -v from the system, but I have no way right now to get at it. - Damian
