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.

linux 3.13-1 is in [testing] and if you use [testing] repos you should subscribe to arch-dev-public ML: https://mailman.archlinux.org/pipermail/arch-dev-public/2014-January/025830....

have been using [testing] for a couple of years now and this is the first time i'm getting in trouble which i don't understand. i don't use a PS2 keyboard and was encouraged from others' positive reports with 3.13, so i upgraded. unfortunately this doesn't work with me, apparently because of my bios / graphics card and i received a bunch of repeating errors during boot (pasted below). i haven't seen this type of thing before and am not sure if this is bug report material or lack of understanding on my part -- and if bug report, against what, exactly? first here's my system (inxi -b): ---------------- System: Host: phani Kernel: 3.12.8-1-ARCH x86_64 (64 bit) Desktop: Awesome 3.5.2 Distro: Arch Linux Machine: Mobo: ASUSTeK model: K53SK version: 1.0 Bios: American Megatrends version: K53SK.203 date: 10/11/2011 CPU: Quad core Intel Core i7-2670QM CPU (-HT-MCP-) clocked at 1178.289 MHz Graphics: Card-1: Intel 2nd Generation Core Processor Family Integrated Graphics Controller Card-2: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD/ATI] Whistler LE [Radeon HD 6610M/7610M] X.Org: 1.15.0 driver: intel Resolution: 1366x768@60.0hz, 1920x1080@60.0hz GLX Renderer: Mesa DRI Intel Sandybridge Mobile GLX Version: 3.0 Mesa 10.0.2 Network: Card-1: Realtek RTL8111/8168/8411 PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet Controller driver: r8168 Card-2: Intel Centrino Wireless-N 100 driver: iwlwifi Drives: HDD Total Size: 750.2GB (42.2% used) Info: Processes: 252 Uptime: 21 min Memory: 1598.1/5876.2MB Client: Shell (bash) inxi: 1.9.18 ---------------- and then there's the errors, during two separate boots. once with acpi_call-git installed, once without: ---------------- Jan 28 01:52:38 phani kernel: [drm:atom_op_jump] *ERROR* atombios stuck in loop for more than 5secs aborting Jan 28 01:52:38 phani kernel: [drm:atom_execute_table_locked] *ERROR* atombios stuck executing CEDE (len 62, WS 0, PS 0) @ 0xCEFA Jan 28 01:52:38 phani kernel: [drm:atom_execute_table_locked] *ERROR* atombios stuck executing BBDE (len 1036, WS 4, PS 0) @ 0xBCDB Jan 28 01:52:38 phani kernel: [drm:atom_execute_table_locked] *ERROR* atombios stuck executing BB74 (len 76, WS 0, PS 8) @ 0xBB7C Jan 28 01:52:38 phani kernel: [drm] PCIE gen 2 link speeds already enabled Jan 28 01:52:39 phani kernel: radeon 0000:01:00.0: Wait for MC idle timedout !

i haven't seen this type of thing before and am not sure if this is bug report material or lack of understanding on my part -- and if bug report, against what, exactly?

Try disabling Radeon DPM with kernel switch. I don't remember the exact name, but it's probably something like radeon.dpm=0. I have recently read on the channel that DPM is enabled by default as of 3.13. If it's not DPM to blame I suggest to ask the guys on #radeon directly. -- Kind regards, Damian Nowak StratusHost www.AtlasHost.eu

Have a look at https://bugs.freedesktop.org and search for your bug in the DRI section. If you find none, report it with full dmesg log. -- Timothée Ravier

Yes, and I am still unclear what is required to insure that an appropriate module is loaded for a normal laptop/desktop.

Nothing. The keyboard should simply.

I already include 'keyboard' in HOOKS

This is only required if you want to use the keyboard in early userspace, which 90% of the time, you don't even have to (encrypted root is one popular exception, handling a failsafe shell is another). The 'keyboard' hook has been in the defaullt configuration for a a while now.

I vote for a solution that insures a keyboard is always probed/detected/provided

If your keyboard doesn't work out of the box with 3.13-2, please add a comment to the appropriate bug report [1] (that is for everyone - comment on that bug if you have keyboard problems with 3.13-2). Everything else is just a waste of time. [1] https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/38671
