Re: Woody modules
Hi Fred,
from the .config parts you sent, it seems your kernel uses ADB keycodes
(CONFIG_MAC_ADBKEYCODES=y). This means your kernel needs an "old"
'console-data' package with ADB keycodes, instead of Linux keycodes.
(More details in http://www.debian.org/ports/powerpc/keycodes). If your
upgrade modified you console data, this might have messed up your
keyboard.
I'm not sure though that this is your real problem, since normally even
with a wrong console-data package, your keyboard should still produce
output (except for keys being switched in some mad pattern).
Good luck
Francois
