I've built 2.5.40 on a rh8.0 athlon box. It boots up OK, but NO keyboard.
It's a vanilla MS natural keyboard with a small DIN PS/2 connector - not
USB. Works fine with 2.4.19 - even prior 2.5.x's.
I noticed that xconfig Input device support grays out
CONFIG_KEYBOARD_ATKBD. As a test, I hand edited .config. Still didn't work.
.config is attached. Any help appreciated

You need to enable serio first. Something like this:
CONFIG_SERIO=y
CONFIG_SERIO_I8042=y
CONFIG_KEYBOARD_ATKBD=y
should work.

I had the same problem (no keyboard, but I had this problem with all
prior 2.5.x) as Sean, although I had the correct configuration as
you show above. It seems that this problem has something to do with
devfs, because everything worked (even X11, which didn't run, too)
well after I disabled it.

Thanks. Worked like a charm. Of course then i had to fix psaux legacy to
make XFree work - and then go back for ps/2 mice.
Obviously I wasn't paying enough attention to lkml to catch this change, but
it certainly seems like a trap for the unwary - and even the somewhat wary.
If I could help, I'd be happy to try to fix the config options to make all
this clearer.
