[gentoo-user] kernel 3.2->3.5 upgrade unusable: keyboard borked

[Grant Edwards]

I'm trying to upgrade from a 3.2 kernel to 3.5.7, but the 3.5.7 kernel
is unusable because it always puts the keyboard into a mode where it
maps the numeric keypad to the right-hand home position (J->1, K->2,
L->3, U->4, etc.).  After sshing into the machine and booting back
into 3.2, everything is fine again.

There must have been a new kernel setting that I missed when I did a
"make oldconfig" which defaults to an unusable settings.  I haven't
been able to come up with a Google search that provides anything
remotely relevent.

Does anybody recognize this problem?
