Re: trouble with finding the keyboard
New information. I downgraded to the previous config file at version
2.4.24 of the kernel, then started from scratch adding one feature at a
time. Then I enabled the 64GB high mem feature of the kernel, a viola
!, the keyboard quites working. All 4GB of memory is recognized from
Linux. Going back to the BIOS, only 3GB of the 4GB of memory is
recognized by the bios.
Still debugging...
