Re: Bug report -- keyboard not working Linux 2.6.11 on Inspiron 1150 (and 5150)

[Marcus Furlong]

Here's the diff of dmesgs between 2.6.10 and 2.6.11


2.6.10
> i8042.c: Warning: Keylock active.
> serio: i8042 AUX port at 0x60,0x64 irq 12
> serio: i8042 KBD port at 0x60,0x64 irq 1

2.6.11
< ACPI: PS/2 Keyboard Controller [KBC] at I/O 0x60, 0x66, irq 1
< ACPI: PS/2 Mouse Controller [PS2M] at irq 12
< i8042.c: Can't read CTR while initializing i8042.


booting with i8042.debug=1 gives:

ACPI: PS/2 Keyboard Controller [KBC] at I/O 0x60, 0x66, irq 1
ACPI: PS/2 Mouse Controller [PS2M] at irq 12
drivers/input/serio/i8042.c: 20 -> i8042 (command) [0]
drivers/input/serio/i8042.c:      -- i8042 (timeout) [508]
i8042.c: Can't read CTR while initializing i8042.


workaround is to boot with i8042.noacpi=1

i8042: ACPI detection disabled
i8042.c: Warning: Keylock active.
serio: i8042 AUX port at 0x60,0x64 irq 12
serio: i8042 KBD port at 0x60,0x64 irq 1
