Re: trouble with finding the keyboard



I have a previously-compiled SMP kernel that indeed does find the
keyboard.  However, I modified the .config file to include the
additional memory and other features not present in the previous kernel
and now this new kernel cannot find the keyboard.  I do not have the
.config file from this previously-compiled kernel.

--frustrating...
