7 Interesting news, here. I booted into the LiveCD and it did not change
8 anything. HOWEVER, I did try once again to enable BIOS ACPI support. I
9 booted, keyboard stopped working, but I checked logs on the next boot
10 and found out that it did bring up both CPU entries - found ACPI and
11 everything.

44 I can't test this any further with my disappearing keyboard issue.
45
46 So now, the problem is: Why does enabling ACPI in the BIOS kill my
47 keyboard sometime after boot. It works before it hits the OS. It's like
48 the PS/2 port drops. Sounds like an interrupt issue. I know, a USB
49 keyboard would possibly solve the issue but I'm interested in solving
50 the issue and not working around it.
