Hi,

I discovered that neither of my keyboards are capable of sending
keystrokes to ddb after a kernel panic.

Here is what I know so far:

1 - It randomly happens under 7.2 on two different Dell R440 servers,
and also happened the same way when they were running 7.1

2 - It also happens on my old Dell desktop that now is running the
latest 7.2 snapshot (GENERIC.MP#845 from today)

3 - As said by man ddb, CTRL ALT ESC and CTRL ALT DEL should bring ddb
up when machdep.kbdreset=2 and ddb.console=1 but, with my USB
keyboards, nothing happens pressing them.

4 - When I set ddb.trigger=1 the ddb appears as expected, however I
can't type anything on it. No keys from my USB keyboards are accepted.

5 - Unfortunately there is no PS/2 keyboard connector or serial port
on any of these machines.

I'm stuck.
Could someone please tell me what I'm missing?
