keyboard not working after compiling new kernel

[bawig1]

Hi Everyone,

I've been trying to setup power management on my macbook pro 4,1(2008) 3.4.9-gentoo install. I've been following this guide;

http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/power-management-guide.xml

I followed the instructions and built a new kernel. When I booted the system I was unable to login because it looks like the keyboard is no longer working. I have booted all of my previous kernels and the keyboards works and I can log in. My kernel configuration file is located at the link below;

thankyou,

Brett.
