I'm a mid-term slackware user, but this has me stumped.
I've recently installed Slackware 10.0 on a new "old" box I've aquired. It went on first time no-problems. Then I changed LILO so it wouldn't wait to boot. Something went wrong, and I started gettin kernal panic messages. Not a problem - reinstall.
But things aren't going as they should be. Now I'm getting to the login prompt after successfully installing slackware, and it seems that my keyboard stops working. I just can't login. The keyboard lights won't activate or anything.
I've tried re-installing 4 times now, and i'm getting the same thing every time. The strange thing is i'm not doing anything strange - there's no custom changes other than de-selecting packages which I know I won't need (cdrdao, xine, etc).
