Flavio,

I believe in the kernel sources, if you go under the drivers section,
de-select the driver for the i8042 Serial Controller. This used to cause me
to have all sorts of problems like you described on my 800mhz TiBook.

I can't recall where exactly in menuconfig it is, as I'm rebuilding right
now and don't have the kernel sources installed yet :(

If someone else could help out!

Hi!

I have just installed gentoo on my ibook 12". It has dual boot with
yaboot. Sometimes it works fine but sometimes, without any reason it
starts as follows and stop:

i8042.c: i8042 controller self test timeout.
Serial: 8250/16550 driver $Revision: 1.90 $ 8 ports, IRQ sharing disabled

At this point it stops and nothing happens.... if I try to restart the
machine it usually works, but ssometimes I need to restart it more than
once.

Does anyone know what is the problem?

Best regards,

Try turning off both of these driverss:

Device Drivers -> Character Devices -> Serial Drivers
< > 8250/16550 and compatible serial support
Device Drivers -> Input Device Support -> Hardware I/O ports
< > i8042 PC Keyboard Controller

Hope this helps,
