[SOLVED] Keyboard does not work at boot on an AMD APU system

[theMerge]

So here's a fun one for you. When I boot about 1/2 to 1/3 of the time my keyboard does not work. Here are the conditions:

• Grub allows the keyboard to work
  
• Once load starts, I can at times hit keys and see the characters echo back, other times they do not.
  
• If the characters do not echo back, then my keyboard, mouse, and even power buttons do not work in either X or command line.

Interestingly enough, this isn't a "Gentoo" problem, as every distro I've tried does the same thing. Obviously doing a hard shutdown (press and hold the power button) 2-3 times until I get the keyboard working isn't a solution. So here's what I need.

• What can I do to ensure my keyboard is detected consistently.
  
• If that can't be done, what I can do to provide good debug information about the problem.
  

Thanks

theMerge,

USB or PS/2 Keyboard ?

Post your lspci output and your kernel .config file.
The .config file will need to go to a pastebin as its too big to fit in a post.
Oh - your dmesg may be useful too - again that needs to be on a pastebin.

Try adding this to your grub.conf:

i8042.nomux=1 i8042.reset

Ion Silverbolt, I could kiss you. I no longer need to boot into windows all the time. I've done several consecutive boots and it appears things are good. I'll marked solved.
