Bug#357191: linux-image-2.6.15-1-k7-smp not recognizing keyboard mouse

[Mitchell Laks <mlaks@verizon.net>]

Package: linux-image-2.6.15-1-k7-smp
Version: 2.6.15-8
Severity: critical
Justification: breaks the whole system


after I install of linux-image 2.6.15-1-k7-smp (or 2.6.15-1-k7 or even
2.6.15-1-486) and reboot 
i can no longer use keyboard or mouse. 
I must log in from ssh. 

this is very problematical :)!

dmesg|grep input

dmesg|grep input
iput: PC Speaker as /class/input/input0


cat /proc/bus/input/devices 
I: Bus=0010 Vendor=001f Product=0001 Version=0100
N: Name="PC Speaker"
P: Phys=isa0061/input0
S: Sysfs=/class/input/input0
H: Handlers=kbd event0
B: EV=40001
B: SND=6

while usually expect to see mouse and keyboard!

All is fine in this fresh install otherwise on debian sarge kernel
2.6.8-2.

My system is a fresh install on this system
 
 I just did a fresh sarge install, desktop packages selected.  
 I upgrade to 
 sid. 
 (apt-get update ;apt-get dist-upgrade)
  with 2.6.8-2 kernel system works fine. (i dont bother to configure
  Xorg at 
  this point, i  use console and disable gdm so  i can  use system )
  I then try to apt-get install linux-image-2.6.15-1-k7-smp (same
  problem with 
  install of -k7 or -1-486 2.6.15 kernels too). 
  The new kernel is installed, and then  when i reboot  - no response to 
  keyboard or mouse.  

  what is going on?

  thanks

  similar problem with new etch install beta. no keyboard with install
  invoked!
