Bug#513835: linux-image-2.6.26-1-xen-686: xen kernel fails at recognizing keyboard and at ACPI handling
Package: linux-image-2.6.26-1-xen-686
Version: 2.6.26-13
Severity: normal
Hello the hurd,
Preambule:
I stick with Xen Dom0 for now.
The only kernel I don't run on the bare hardware is
linux-image-2.6.26-1-xen-686 which is then paravirtualized with Xen.
That is I don't attempt to run any kernel through Xen HVM.
My problem:
With linux-image-2.6.26-1-xen-686 I experience a similar bug as with
linux-image-2.6.26-1-openvz-686 ; see my previous bug report:
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=513095
That is, not only my keyboard seems dead (with not even SysReq
keys functionning), but, likewise, my touchpad seems dead too.
It behaves like both (keyboard and touchpad) were not power supplied.
Note that I don't have those problems with linux-image-2.6.26-1-686
or linux-image-2.6.26-1-vserver-686 ; don't you think it's strange ?
This might be a 'false bug' since Xen is known not to support ACPI.
However it is embarrassing if keyboard and touchpad functions depend
effectively on proper OS-Side ACPI initialisation while the keyboard
can be used seamlessly to tell the boot loader what to boot.
In hope my report will prove useful.
Sincerely,
Valentin QUEQUET
