Any thoughts on why the 2.4 kernel won't > recognize my keyboard if the 2.2 kernel will/ways around this problem? First, please wrap your lines. Second, remember to do an `apt-get update && dist-upgrade` when you are done setting things up. As for your immediate question, try using either an external PS/2 keyboard or USB keyboard for the setup. Dunno why you 2.4 wouldn't see the default keyboard -- sounds likes its a configuration problem or a kernel problem. Google for ``pavillion keyboard 2.4'' in google groups, you should get a few hits. ~ Jesse Meyer -- "Even the samurai have teddy bears, icq: 34583382 and even the teddy bears msn: dasunt@hotmail.guess get drunk." jabber: dasunt@theoretic.com
