2.6.9 & 2.6.10 unresponsive to keyboard upon bootup

[Roey Katz]

Hello,

Upon bootup, kernels 2.6.9 and 2.6.10 do not respond to keyboard input 
(e.g., I enter a few chars at the prompt but I see nothing).  I can SSH 
into the system, though, but I don't know what to do from there. I used 
the .config from my 2.6.7 kernel, which works properly (I did run 'make 
oldconfig'). In all .config files, I have the following:

 CONFIG_INPUT_KEYBOARD=y
 CONFIG_KEYBOARD_ATKBD=y
 # CONFIG_KEYBOARD_SUNKBD is not set
 # CONFIG_KEYBOARD_LKKBD is not set
 # CONFIG_KEYBOARD_XTKBD is not set
 # CONFIG_KEYBOARD_NEWTON is not set

So that looks OK... I also SSH'd into the system, did a 'cat 
/dev/input/event0' and typed on the system's keyboard, but 'cat' 
remained silent. Perhaps there is a better way to see if the system is 
recognizing the keyboard input (or even seeing the keyboard 
itself).  I give up.. what am I doing wrong???


Thanks,

Roey Katz
