Try changing the BIOS options regarding failing on all
errors. After changing my Tyan Thunder K7 to not fail
on keyboard failures, it was able to boot fine.
Also, if you intend to use a USB keyboard permanently,
you may wish to comment out atkbdc from your kernel
configuration file. This will make it easier to set
up kbdcontrol with the USB keyboard.
Let me know if you have further questions.

The keyboard works, the mouse works.
My problem here is in getting past the BTX loader
WITHOUT the AT keyboard
attached. How would I keep BTX from freezing when
it
can't see the AT keyboard?
Huh? What actual problem is BTX giving you? I boot
lots of machines headless,
and have used USB keyboards on machines in the past.
Also, after over a month of not being able to
buildworld with SMP-current, I
managed to build a kernel from the same sources
that I
built my last SMP kernel with [yesterday's
-current], except this time it was
in uniprocessor configuration, and now I don't get
the
random panics which were most obvious when
attempting to buildworld over the
past month or so [I have tried new kernels about
every
week for over a month, all have had the same
issues].
I have read that others seem to be having problems
in SMP, and I guess I am
not alone. I saved the SMP kernel, so I can still
boot
into it, but these seem to be random, and I could
sit for a minute or for an
hour before I get to a point where I can even see
the
panic, but if any tracebacks are needed, I do have
the debugger in, assuming
this problem isn't already known.
What kind of panics? When you get a panic, please
post it to the list along
with a trace and any other useful debug info. We
can't fix bugs we don't know
about.
