4 a co-worker with an SMP system tried installing gentoo 1.4 a couple of
5 days ago; the experience was mostly fine except that whenever he tried
6 to boot an SMP kernel, his keyboard would no longer work (?)
7
8 any pointers to kernel config options that might work around this issue
9 would be greatly appreciated, i am pretty sure it is a quirk in the
10 apollo chipset that is causing this =)
11
12 the system is a p3 dual processor:
13
14 motherboard: super p3tdde
15 chipset: via apollo pro 266T
16 dual 1.7 GHZ fcpga penium III's
17 fastrak100 tx/lp series IDE raid card running RAID1 on two hdd's
18 super-old MS natural split keyboard w/ ps2 interface
19 1 GB RAM
20
21 he installed gentoo on an additional non-raid IDE drive.
