2.6.8 kernels - no keyboard or touchpad response on laptop


Note: Xposted at forums.gentoo.org

Hi,

I changed my 2.4.x kernel to the new 2.6.8 kernel (i've tried 2 different flavours, both give me the same problem).

Everything loads OK, but the keyboard and the touchpad don't seem active. There is absolutely no response whatsoever. I have the same problem when I use the 2.6.8 kernel booting Knoppix.

I need the new one because the 2.4 one doesn't recognize my pcmcia usb 2.0 card

I get no error messages.

Any clues?

Thanks,
Maqueo
