Subject: Keyboard broken on Inspiron 5150 with 2.6.11

Hi all,

I've just booted 2.6.11 and the keyboard on my Dell Inspiron 5150 laptop
doesn't work at all. I've not tried the -rc versions, but it works fine with
2.6.10.

Unfortunately I don't have access to a spare keyboard or to the system over
the network at the moment, so I can't really give much more information :-(
There's nothing out of place in the syslog and I attach my .config and 2.6.10
dmesg.

If nobody else can confirm it and provide more info, I'll be able to look into
it more in a few weeks.

Please CC me on replies.

Regards,
David Johnson.

Ah yes, it works perfectly with that boot option.

I can't check the touchpad as X won't start when the option isn't passed
(maybe because touchpad device doesn't exist, but I can't check the X log).

David.

Can you check dmesg for 2.6.11 when booted _without_ i8042.noacpi for
messages from ACPI and i8042 please? Do you see something like following:

> ACPI: PS/2 Keyboard Controller [KBC] at I/O 0x60, 0x66, irq 1
> ACPI: PS/2 Mouse Controller [PS2M] at irq 12
> i8042.c: Can't read CTR while initializing i8042.

Sorry for taking so long to check this out, but yes, I get exactly what
you've quoted above.
