Colin,

I've had problems with the keyboard on my FC1 box (Epox D3VA with dual P3 1Ghz, PS2
mouse and keyboard) when I upgraded to the 2.6.5 kernel. Both keyboard and mouse work
fine with a 2.4.x kernel.

I installed 2.6.6 this morning but did not reboot as I am downloading the FC2 DVD ISO
and didn't want to break the machine before the download was complete!

I'll try rebooting tonight and see if it affects the keyboard issue.

Out of interest, what kernel does FC2 come with?

R.
