Lost keyboard after upgrade!?!

Hi,

I just did pacman -Syu which upgraded the kernel, I did reboot and no keys.

So any help is very much appreciated..

Okay,
I rebooted after sending previous message with the help of Archie liveCD. Now everything works again. I did remove gdm from the rc.conf though.

If anybody has ideas what just happened I'd be very happy. This is all beyond my limited comprehension..

Re: Lost keyboard after upgrade!?!

possibly the switch to the new kernel with hwdetect and your keyboard wasn't detected.... maybe a USB module wasn't loaded quite in time or something?

Thanks for the input

It could be that a USB module wasn't loaded in time, as it works now when I boot to CLI and start gdm manually.

Re: Lost keyboard after upgrade!?!

I remember other users having problems with gdm and keyboard.  Make sure that gdm is the last entry in the DAEMON entry. Or you can start gdm automatically with inittab. The details are in the wiki.
