Yesterday i upgraded from Kernel 3.7 to 3.8 using the kernel switcher. I followed the wiki and finally rebootet.
My hard disk contains encrypted LVM so during reboot i needed to enter my passphrase, which wasn't possible. Keyboard input just isn't recognized. Even the Num Lock LED can't be switched.
So I reset my PC and bootet Sabayon with Kernel 3.7 and my keyboard worked again.
After that, i switched the repo from weekly to sabayon.orgr to see, if kernel updates are available, which were. I updated in the hope of getting my keyboard problem fixed. But after reboot, the same problem. My keyboard isn't responding with kernel 3.8.
Any suggestions?

USB Keyboard not working after Kernel Upgrade [Solved]

Re: USB Keyboard not working after Kernel Upgrade
Hi,
if you used kernel-switcher to upgrade your kernel and you don't use any custom kernel configuration or any particular module to handle that keyboard (which should be the case for a simple USB keyboard), it should just work.
This sounds like a possible bug, could you report it to:
https://bugs.sabayon.org/
Including as much informations as possible?
For example a link to this topic, the procedure you used to upgrade, which packages were pulled by kernel-switcher, keyboard model, lsusb output, the fact you have an encrypted LVM volume and anything you find important, the more the better

Re: USB Keyboard not working after Kernel Upgrade
I believe that we're hit by an upstream kernel bug, an updated kernel is coming

Re: USB Keyboard not working after Kernel Upgrade
Could the fix be in the Linux Sabayon 3.8.3~0 package currently in Limbo or is it some future update?
If yes to the first part, i would volunteer to try and test the update.

Can I see somehow, which packages were pulled by kernel-switcher?

You forgot the most important thing, kernel logs. And if it's a kernel bug, don't waste your time filing a bug against us.micia wrote:Hi,

Re: USB Keyboard not working after Kernel Upgrade
I was looking through /var/log/messages but everytime i booted the 3.8 kernel, no log was written.
The boot process came to where i would type in my encryption password, but since my keyboard wasn't working i had to hard-reset my pc. -> no log.
Or am I looking at the wrong file?

Re: USB Keyboard not working after Kernel Upgrade
Try to update the kernel again, there is a new revision for the 3.8.3 kernel now.
