CONFIG_INPUT=m

Because this is m, Kconfig is hiding CONFIG_VT from you.

When I read the help for CONFIG_VT, I was convinced that was it, but when I tried to enable CONFIG_VT it still didn't work. It just sounded so like that was it. Any other suggestions?

By the way.. I am subscribed to this list now, so no need to CC anymore, but thanks for the reply.

Read the 'common gotchas' section of
http://www.codemonkey.org.uk/post-halloween.txt
It's likely one of the other options in that list.

But did you set CONFIG_INPUT=y?

Yes, I did. And I have also enabled CONFIG_VT.

Try with:

CONFIG_INPUT=y
CONFIG_SERIO=y
CONFIG_SERIO_I8042=y
CONFIG_INPUT_KEYBOARD=y
CONFIG_KEYBOARD_ATKBD=y
CONFIG_VGA_CONSOLE=y

Check to see which console drivers and how many framebuffer drivers you have enabled. Most peopel have been enabling everything which is wrong.
