Thanks for that. Compiling in HID support (usbhid) solved the problem of not being able to enter anything at the login: prompt but login still hung.
After a period of considering whither to reformat and go back to Gentoo, I noticed that the /etc/login.defs was expecting a /etc/securetty file which did not exist. # If defined, either full pathname of a file containing device names or # a ":" delimited list of device names. Root logins will be allowed only # upon these devices. # CONSOLE /etc/securetty #CONSOLE console:tty01:tty02:tty03:tty04 uncommenting the list didn't work ( tty01 ?) but copying a /etc/securetty file from the host Arch setup did. Now it seems to work Thanks again
