Keyboard


Hi i changed my server useing 10.0.
So i put my hdd in the new (old) server and i couldn't log in.
I get to the login but my keyboard won't work.
I don't use ps/2 keyboard i use the older one. (the first was ps?2)
So i can't log into this server.
It uses the default 10.0 kernel.
The thing is that before it boots linux the keyboard works. (like in lilo boot options).

Anyone got any adeas??

Is it an "AT" keyboard? If so, I believe you'll need support for that specific type in your kernel options.

Thanks for your help.
So AT thats what we used to call them (i didn't remember that)
I compiled a new kernel.
But i didn't find any AT option in 2.6.12 kernel.
But i added xt keyboard.
Don't know if it did it but it works now.

Well, if it works, then that's what's important, right?
