The usb keyboard modules seems to not be compiled into the kernel in the smp kernel in the "gentoo" kernel it is compiled and work in the smp the hotplug tries to load the module but it says module not found this is the output with the smp kernel (usb keyboard doesnt work) >> Loading modules :: Scanning for echci-hcd...echci-hcd loaded. ::scanning for uhci.. module not found. ::Scanning for hid... module not found. ::Scanning for usb-storage... usb-storage oaded. ::Scanning for ieee1394...ieee1394 loaded. ::Scanning for ohci1394...ohci1394 loaded. ::Scanning for sbp2...sbp2 loaded. And this is the output of the gentoo kernel(usb keyboard works) Scanning for echci-hcd..usbcore, ehci-hcd loaded. ::scanning for uhci...uhci loaded ::scanning for hid...hid loaded. ::Scanning for usb-storage....usb-storage loaded. ::Scanning for sbp2...sbp2 loaded. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3.
I'm assigning this to genkernel, because genkernel should also try loading uhci-hcd and ohci-hcd, since the modules changed names in the 2.6 kernel. Also, the hid driver is usbhid in 2.6, since there is also a bluetooth hid driver now.
Fixed in the latest genkernel versions in CVS...
