hello,
the subject is a little misleading, it boots, but the keyboard wont work.
let me tell you the story...
assembled a dual machine PIII500/i440bx; took a disk from another machine
(debian woody) to test if it comes up (the dual machine doesn't have it's
own disk yet); the POST is ok, I can enter the BIOS, make changes, etc...;
however, at some point during booting, the keyboard stops working, so I
cannot login; it was a kernel compiled by me (2.4.10), so I thought it was
my mistake; ok, booted 2.4.9-686 (debian), same behaviour; if I boot in
single user mode, it suddenly works! withn every kernel! the keyboard is ok
(it's the one that I use now), the other system which the disk was taken
from is an mendocino 633 with the same chipset, i440bx, except is
uniprocessor. I do not have a clue about this, it's like the kernel has no
driver compiled for the keyboard. Oh, and I forgot to mention, the kernels
boots on their system, and the keyboard is standard (PS2).
Anybody on this?

arghhh, forget it...it was gpm! it was starting in runlevel2 and I didn't
had a mouse...
