Hiya Folks.

I'm using 2.1.5 on a 486DX2/66 machine with 16MB RAM. During the boot 
process I get the following:

  scprobe: keyboard RESET failed (0xff)

then when it gets to the login prompt, the keyboard doesn't work. It 
looks like a conflict between the ps2 mouse and the keyboard.  Using the 
/kernel -c option at startup I can see that the psm0 device is 
conflicting with sc0. I've tried moving the IO addresses around a bit, 
but to no avail. if I unplug the mouse the boot goes off without a hitch.

Anybody have suggestions on this? Please post them or mail me.

Thanks,
Dave Opalecky
