I could just login with ssh from an other machine to go "chvt 1" but even in this mode I still had no keyboard. I could log out (the mouse was working) but I had to reboot as I had no keybord in the login screen. /var/log/messages shows : Sep 25 23:47:05 rabeson kernel: atkbd.c: Unknown key released (translated set 2, code 0xe0 on isa0060/serio0). Sep 25 23:47:05 rabeson kernel: atkbd.c: Use 'setkeycodes e060 <keycode>' to make it known.
