No keyboard from 2.1.91 and up

Hi, I've been using kernel 2.1.86 and up just fine. Starting in .91 my
keyboard stopped working! It timeouts right in the booting process, after
detecting my HDs.

On kernels .91 and .92 I just changed the #define'd timeout values on
pc_keyb.h (or something) and it worked just fine, but in .95 even this won't
solve the problem. Since I'm new on this list this problem may have been
addressed, for that I'm sorry. (and I hate when this happens ;)

Anyway, the thing here sounds like some change in the driver from .90 to .91
(and so up). I have fairly new (1997) motherboard with a Pentium-166. My
installation is pretty standard.

The most strange thing is that, even with a hard reset (with the switch, of
course ! ;), the keyboard still doesn't work. I have to turn the damn
machine off. I'm clueless... anyone here knows what's going on?
