When you upgrade to kernel 3.13, pacman considerately informs you that you must have a keyboard hook in mkinitcpio.conf.
What you're not told is that if you have an AT keyboard, you also need to ensure that the atkbd module is loaded, otherwise you probably won't have a working keyboard on reboot.

Do you subscribe to arch-dev-public? It's under discussion there and saved me.
Yes, and I am still unclear what is required to insure that an appropriate module is loaded for a normal laptop/desktop. I already include 'keyboard' in HOOKS -- is that all that is needed or are there additional specific modules that need to be probed? Does HOOKS=".. keyboard.." insure the atkbd module will be loaded/probed? I vote for a solution that insures a keyboard is always probed/detected/provided if one exists whether that is shipping a modules-load.d fragment or leaving it built-in. From the discussion, a manual probing seems like a bad answer. -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.
