I have no problems loading the kernel, it recognises my retina and my GVP, but after it has asked for the root device (fd0) and some loading has been done, my keyboard goes mad. Every second keystroke or so is repeated an even multiple of ten times. Not a good idea :-( My idea is timing problems between the mainboard (rev 4.1) and the Keyboard (an old one with two Amiga Keys), so the keyboard thinks, there's an out-of-sync Condition and resends the key. Does anyone have had the same problems or an better idea to help me out of this mess? Is my idea totally stupid (is there a keyboard driver loaded after the kernel)? If you can help me, please answer by email. I'm not an expert concerning unix-like systems (but i want to become one) so forgive me, if this question is dull. Thanks for your patience Clemens D. Dumat
