More info on the keyboard problem:
I've tried a different keyboard, with the identical
results as before (unrecognized scancode). The first was
a generic $12 one with a PS/2 adapter on it, and the second,
a high-quality Digital PS/2 one.
Some further investigation has revealed the following:
- On boot up I get a complaint about "Scanmode 2 change failed"
- Looking into the kernel source (found it in drivers/char/keyboard.c)
seems to indicate that it is trying to initialize the
keyboard and enable interrupts for it.
I haven't a clue on what's needed at the low-level driver
level to make a keyboard work, but it seems that there might still
be something wrong in the kernel, or I've just got a quirky set of
keyboards.
