One major change is coming (and Tom will be happy about it): Keyboard support is entirely modular, even for AT(PS/2) keyboards. Beware that in order to have keyboard input during early boot, you need the 'keyboard' hook in mkinitcpio.conf. In other news, this breaks 'rdinit=/bin/sh'. A post-install message has been added.
Awesome :-) \o/

As it turns out, many people have no keyboard at all due to a bug (blame Tom). Please refrain from updating unless you have some other way to type 'modprobe atkbd' until we decide what exactly we should do.
Okay, there are two problems: 1), the i8042 module was lacking modaliases. This is resolved by this patch http://pastebin.com/bKydQZLF 2) Some machines to not export the i8042 controller by either ACPI or PNP - for example, on my machine. Loading i8042 works just fine, but it will never be autodetected. This message is probably related: [14287.808024] i8042: PNP: No PS/2 controller found. Probing ports directly. So, should we just apply the patch and leave it as a module, or should we make it built-in again and close https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/27555 as "Won't fix"?
