Hi all,

I have recently come accross a strange problem, I have been
trying to setup a freebsd sever at a place that has a whole
bunch of newish intel systems (they are 766mhz or something
so they are not that new)..

They all have these Diamond Touch keyboards, and upon loading
a kernel the keyboard doesnt work.. I cant actualy install on
these systems using the keyboards!! The kernel config screen
doesnt come up ether, it just jumps to sysinstall with a dead
keyboard...

Now I dont know what mother board is in these systems, and it
could be just these keyboards with that controler, but I found
another band keyboard and it worked just fine..

Anyway the relevent messages from the kernel are:

atkbdc0 <Keyboard Controller(i8024)>: at port 0x60,0x64 on ISA0
atkbd0 <AT Keyboard>: Flags 0x1 IRQ 1 on atkbdc0
device_probe_and_attatch: atkbd0 attatch returned 6

During the probe the lights on the keyboard flash and then it
goes dead, sort of like maybe the probe killed it...

The keyboards are all:

Diamond Touch Keyboards (yes the s on the end is part of its name)
Model No: 6511-PA
Extension No: 41/MIT

Are these not supported or something? I would like to know whats
going on here because it seems very strange that a keyboard should
fail to work right??

Thanks anyway!
