Hello.

I tried kernel 2.5.17, and I can't get my PS/2 keyboard to work with it. After booting, i can see login prompt, can move my mouse, but I can't write anything with my keyboard.
I used kernel 2.4.18 before, and everything was fine.
I have Soltek's motherboard (SL-75DRV4 on VIA KT266A).

Maybe it's my fault, but I tried everything and can't get my keyboard work.

If you need more information about my system, write it.

Thank's for your work.

ACPI has been known to break keyboard code on VIA systems (and maybe others) in 2.5. Try booting with acpi=off or recompile w/ CONFIG_ACPI=N.

Did you turn on the Keyboard interface?, you can find it in the Input device support section under Input core support.
