It simply doesn't work! I enabled legacy support (it was marked 'AUTO'
before), but the kernel still complains about a non-existing AT-keyboard,
and when the grey screen of the debian installation appears, the keyboard
won't be so kind to do a simple return to continue. I also tried disabling
support, but did no good, as was (too late for me) marked on your link.
Maybe the BIOS is too old, or the keyboard doesn't work (my 2.2.17 under
Mandrake complains about 'too many Nacks -- noisy kbd cable').
I will look for a newer BIOS version or a 'normal keyboard'. It should work
once the system is installed.
Thanks anyway!
