It also happened to me: Keyboard timeout[2], and no led change.
Paolo seems to be right... if no interrupts can received
then the solucion can be to poll the status port of the keyboard.
The next "for" loop if the one of the fuction "send_data"
within the file "drivers/char/_key.c". Adding a call to
process the keyboard_events... and it works.
-----------------8<---------------------
for (;;) {
if (acknowledge)
return 1;
if (resend)
break;
mdelay(1);
/* --- Begin Inserted code ---*/
/* If interrupts can't be received then, let's poll the data
*/
handle_kbd_event();
/* --- End Inserted code --*/
if (!--timeout) {
#ifdef KBD_REPORT_TIMEOUTS
printk(KERN_WARNING "Keyboard timeout[2]\n");
#endif
return 0;
}
}
-----------------8<-------------------------
I don't know the keyboard code to ensure that this is the
correct solution... but it seems to work correctly.
