Latest -current, just cvsuped and build world/kernel yesterday. In a
nutshell, if I reboot out of FreeBSD, my keyboard becomes
non-functional, until I power my laptop off/on again. For example, say
I use reboot(8) to boot out of FreeBSD. When the boot loader comes up,
which in my case is LILO, I find that I cannot navigate with the
keyboard. Seemingly, none of the keys work.
To diagnose what was going on, I configured LILO to boot straight into
Linux. OK, so I reboot out of FreeBSD, and reach the LILO menu. I hit
a few keys, and see no response. Once Linux boots, I can see the keys
that I hit "replaying" on the screen. Apparently, what's going on is
the keyboard buffer isn't being flushed.
This is only when I reboot after running FreeBSD-current. If I power-on
from the off state, or reboot from Linux or Windows, the keyboard
behavior is normal. Also, once running FreeBSD, keyboard behavior is
normal (provided I boot "cold" or from any other OS, not FreeBSD).
Maybe it's something specific to my HP Pavilion notebook and the latest
FreeBSD-current... :-/
