Keyboard entry

[dude <dude@deletia.com>]

I am working on installin glinux on an HP 5470

I am using debian distr.  kernel 2.7

What we noticed is that when i rebooted into the new kernel

and get into the login:

we can not login.


What We (my girlfriend and I) think is going on is thatwhen

a key is pressed it is sending th ewrong data thus the login and password
is wrong.

It might be the enter key because when i just type that i get a "^]"


But when i load up kernel 2.2 i can login in just fine.


What is going on with the keyboard in the newer kernel.

Thanks for all your time.
