Keyboard not working anymore

Hi!

I had some troubles this morning, I booted up my computer and apparently my rc.conf had been restored? All my daemons and modules were gone and so was my hostname setup and locales etc.

I changed it, and rebooted. It then said that filesystem check failed, so I logged in and ran e2fsck on that partition, rebooted and it worked fine. However, now my keyboard does not respond. I'm not using X since I log in using the terminal.

what's up with this? How come arch does not recognize my keyboard any longer? Thus I can't do anything, not even log in.

Re: Keyboard not working anymore

Yes, it's there but it's still not working. And now when I try to boot from the arch live cd, to do a full reinstall (i need to repartiotion anyhow) it won't work either! The keyboard works great in bios, and in a ubuntu live-cd so it's not broken. Why the fuck is this happening now? It HAS worked flawless before in arch?

Re: Keyboard not working anymore

Have you tried making another arch disk?  Maybe the one your using is messed up.

Arch will not hold your hand

Re: Keyboard not working anymore

No I haven't, but now it works again, but sometimes it takes a while before the keyboard gets recognized.

I did a full reinstall, however - now my grub is kinda messed up. I have two hdds a 300gb.

On sda I have 1 partition, with mac osx. I don't want to touch that right now. I boot from sdb (mbr) and my partitions are the following:
sdb1 /boot
sdb2 swap
sdb3 /
sdb4 /home

I point my grub to hd(1,2) which would be sdb3 right? But it says that the partition could not be found. What's up with that?
If i point it to hd(1,0) I get some other error, don't remember which.

Re: Keyboard not working anymore

try using hd0 instead of hd1. I once installed Arch on a USB hard drive. Even though the disk was recognized as sdb after boot up,
I have to set it as hd0 in menu.lst to make grub working.
