Hi there, Just installed FreeBSD 5.3 from the CD, had some trouble doing it over the network because of DHCP quirks in the sk driver (that's my 'feeling') but ok, it's running now. As I want an updated system I started following the manual to do a full makeworld and get my system up to date. Everything goes fine, compiling the kernel in 7 minutes, world in 51. What more could I wish for? The problem starts after make installkernel and the subsequent reboot into single usermode. The kernel boots just fine and finally prompts for the location of your favourite shell or hit enter for /bin/sh. Hitting enter results in nothing. All keys except the caps-lock, scroll-loc and num-loc (which seem to be unaffected, the lights start burning when pressing them) refuse to do anything. So the only option I have at that point is a forcefull reboot, reboot into the old kernel (which works just fine) and redo the whole thing (except the make buildworld). The GENERIC config file states: # atkbdc0 controls both the keyboard and the PS/2 mouse device atkbdc # AT keyboard controller device atkbd # AT keyboard device psm # PS/2 mouse Seems pretty allright to me. less /sys/conf/newvers.sh comes up with 5.4 stable (check what version is actually CVSup-ed when using RELENG_5 in cvsupfile). Done that before so that's not an issue either. Unfortunately I cannot give you the output of /var/run/boot/dmesg since it is being overwritten every time you boot and since my keyboard doesn't work I can't move it out of the way. Booting with debug messages would be an option but I don't know how to switch it on from the bootprompt. I'll go search fot that in a minute. In the meantime I hope somebody else here has had the same problem and fixed it. Or knows a workaround (don't have a USB keyboard so that's not an option (-; ) Thanks a lot already!! Greetings, Andreas ps: System is ASUS k8V Deluxe, no exotic hardware or memory configuration, just a hell of a lot USB devices (which all work fine). Running stock kernel from installation CD now.
