Custom-compiled 2.6.6 kernel = no PS/2 keyboard

Hello all,
I attempted to post two other messages to the list but they never made it for
some reason. My appologies if anyone is receiving duplicate messages about
this...
I am attempting to compile a custom 2.6.6 kernel for my duel-CPU motherboard
but have run into a snag. The stock 2.6.5-i385 boots fine but cannot see both
CPU's. The stock 2.6.5-i385.smp does not boot at all, but reboots itself over
and over again. I have a 2.6.6 kernel that boots, but it cannot see the PS/2
keyboard -- very annoying. (This is a server, so 99% of the time I won't need
a keyboard, but for that last 1% when I do can be critical!)
Not being a hardware guru, I'm not sure what to do about it. Anyone out there
run accross this sort of thing?
Stats:
- I've installed FC2.
- I'm using linux-2.6.6, with the commands: "make mrproper && make clean &&
make gconfig && make bzImage && make modules && make modules_install && make
install"
- On a SuperMicro X5DP8-G2 motherboard with duel Xeon CPU's.

- With the following .config:

For that matter, if anyone is familiar with the hardware of which I speak and
can give me some pointers on how I can improve on these .config settings, I'm
all ears!
Thanks for the help,
Michael Peek
