unsure if this is the appropriate forum fo this question, please direct
me to another list if need be.
a co-worker with an SMP system tried installing gentoo 1.4 a couple of
days ago; the experience was mostly fine except that whenever he tried
to boot an SMP kernel, his keyboard would no longer work (?)
any pointers to kernel config options that might work around this issue
would be greatly appreciated, i am pretty sure it is a quirk in the
apollo chipset that is causing this =)
the system is a p3 dual processor:
motherboard: super p3tdde
chipset: via apollo pro 266T
dual 1.7 GHZ fcpga penium III's
fastrak100 tx/lp series IDE raid card running RAID1 on two hdd's
super-old MS natural split keyboard w/ ps2 interface
1 GB RAM
he installed gentoo on an additional non-raid IDE drive.

Silly, but, did he enable keyboard support in the kernel?

I had once something similar with gentoo-sources in 1.4. Only when
selected SMP.
Used the vanilla-sources and all was well. Worked with ac-sources as well.
Try to use different sources for the kernel and see if problem is there.
