I had a similar problem. I was, however, trying to build a purely modular kernel in the process so I kind of shot myself in the foot. :) Here are the module names that I need to load for keyboard support. You can find the appropriate items in the config and set them to Y if you'd prefer. kernel/drivers/input/keyboard/atkbd.ko kernel/drivers/input/serio/serio.ko kernel/drivers/input/serio/i8042.ko I think that's all of them. Just in case, here's a list of my currently loaded modules: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/lib/modules/2.6.0-test1/kernel/drivers$ lsmod Module Size Used by snd_maestro3 21316 2 snd_ac97_codec 48420 1 snd_maestro3 snd_pcm 85860 2 snd_maestro3 snd_page_alloc 7748 1 snd_pcm snd_timer 21444 1 snd_pcm snd 42372 7 snd_maestro3,snd_ac97_codec,snd_pcm,snd_timer soundcore 6944 1 snd evdev 7616 1 psmouse 12680 0 i8042 7808 0 atkbd 6660 0 serio 4932 3 psmouse,i8042,atkbd r128 90636 2 hid 30496 0 nfs 91728 1 af_packet 12712 2 uhci_hcd 29616 0 ohci_hcd 16288 0 ehci_hcd 22180 0 usb_storage 27264 0 usbcore 97276 7 hid,uhci_hcd,ohci_hcd,ehci_hcd,usb_storage scsi_mod 62364 1 usb_storage 3c59x 35912 0 cpuid 1824 0 microcode 4824 0 msr 2176 0 apm 16004 2 nfsd 92912 8 [unsafe] exportfs 5024 1 nfsd lockd 58576 3 nfs,nfsd,[unsafe] sunrpc 118728 5 nfs,nfsd,lockd rtc 10260 0 unix 22640 547 Unfortunately I don't have access to the computer that I used to compile the kernel at the moment, so I can't attach the .config right now. I do know that the only things in my config that COULD be loaded as modules but weren't were the base IDE support and my root fs driver (reiserfs). Everything else was built as a module. I'm running 2.6 on the machine that I'm writing this with, with X, Gnome, Evolution, and all of my other favorite apps up and running. Mouse support was a bit tricky, but some quick googling turned up some answers. Unfortunately, it's quite obvious to me that 2.6 isn't quite ready, so I'm most likely going to be going back to 2.4.21 for the time being. > I tried ssh'ing into the machine, but was unable to obtain a shell.

The keyboard is just dead. Once I'm in and have a login shell going over ssh, I use that to load the necessary modules for my keyboard support. > BTW, my usb mouse worked with 2.6.0-test1, so I really want to pursue this. Getting a USB mouse to work with 2.6 is extremely easy as the whole USB input interface has been much improved. Unfortunately, the rest of the input methods have all been made considerably more complicated. (Though it is quite understandable.) Getting a PS/2 mouse to work is considerably more difficult, and getting a touchpad to work is even worse. -- Alex Malinovich Support Free Software, delete your Windows partition TODAY!
