Comments/Problems:

  The Debian Installer boots nicely from the CDROM, honors all settings and
installs the system. The keyboard works perfectly well (Swiss-French
keyboard layout) during d-i.

  Immediately after the GRUB boot loader starts for the first time, the
keyboard freezes and the lights/leds start to blink quite quickly in
sequence from right to left.

  The system then automatically boots the first entry from the GRUB menu and
starts normally all operations. It can be accessed thru the network SSH
console once started. No problems reported within 'dmesg'.

  However, the keyboard remains unusable for further console intervention.

  So the problem seems to me: the keyboard freezes as soon as the Boot
loader launches. The lights keep blinking during all the time the system
runs (only the keyboard freezes; Linux starts normally).

  During BIOS setup (before boot loader launches), or during the d-i phase,
the keyboard works perfectly well.

  I tried numerous reinstalls, which all led to the same outcome:

   * boot: expert sym53c8xx=safe
   * boot: expert acpi=off
   * boot: expert noapic nolapic
   * boot: expert debian-installer/framebuffer=off
   * hardware: tried to remove one of the processors
   * hardware: tried another PS/2 keyboards
   * d-i: no keyboard layout (default kernel mapping)
   * d-i: installed LILO rather than GRUB
   * Sarge 3.1r2

  (I am unsure if I can further ask here:)

  Would you have any suggestion on why the keyboard freezes and how to solve
it?

  This is a quite critical problem to me: it prevents intervention on the
console, which I would need in case of trouble with the filesystems (e. g.
ext3 fsck; AFAIU, this happens before the network SSH console is available).

Kind regards,
Olivier

We are closing this installation report for one of the following
reasons:
- it was reported with a pre-lenny version of Debian
  Installer.
- indications in the installation report give the feeling that
  the reported problem waslying in another software, unrelated to
  D-I, which we can't easily identify.
- indications in the installation report suggest that it may have been
  fixed in a more recent version of a D-I component
- it was successful and we forgot closing it..:-)
- it has no information we consider useful


The D-I team is currently in the process of cleaning out the old spool
of installation reports that haven't bene processed yet. 

In case you think that the problem you reported has chances to be
still present, please reiterate your installation test with
a more recent image of D-I, if you're in position of doing this.

You'll find daily builds at
http://www.debian.org/devel/debian-installer. We recommend you choose
the netboot image, in the "daily builds section", then choose to
install "squeeze" when prompted.

If some problems are found, please report them with a new bug sent
against installation-reports.

Many thanks for your understanding and your help improving Debian,
past and present.
