From: Mark Fletcher on 4 Jul 2010 05:20 I am running amd64 squeeze on an Intel Core i7 920-based machine with 8GB RAM. I built the machine about a year ago and have been running squeeze on it since. I use a Logitech ("Logicool") MX5500 wireless keyboard and mouse combo. For about the last month or so I hadn't updated packages -- not for any particular reason, just hadn't gotten around to it. The other day I did -- and now my keyboard is not working. The keyboard and mouse work fine in Windows (on another machine). The keyboard also is working as the machine is switched on as I can use it to select boot kernel in GRUB. It's once Debian starts booting that it breaks. This is exactly the same symptom I observed a few months ago when the upgrade from udev 151-1 to 151-3 or something introduced a mod to /lib/udev/rules.d/70-hid2hci.rules which was supposed to fix a udev bug but broke a lot of people's keyboards in the process. I successfully applied the manual fix for that at the time and have since allowed udev to upgrade naturally with no subsequent problems. So naturally, the first place I looked was udev. I note udev is now at version 157, so I wondered if it was broken again. There don't seem to be any bugs to this effect logged, so I thought I'd give udev from sid a go since it doesn't seem to introduce any dependency problems. Installing sid's udev (v158) did not fix it. I have googled around for this and don't see anything newer than the last flurry on this subject a few months ago as referenced above. It's almost like no one else is having this problem... :-( I noticed that the kernel has also been upgraded to 2.6.32-5-amd64, so I rebooted and selected the old kernel (2.6.32-3-amd64) and that did not help either. Is anyone else experiencing similar problems? Any advice? I am not sure what other information I should provide that would help diagnose the problem... Right now I am having to use this easily-most-powerful-machine-in-my-network via ssh only from other machines as I don't have a spare keyboard and mouse to switch to it. Really want to get this machine fully back on its feet ASAP so any help appreciated... Thanks Mark -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-REQUEST(a)lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

I had the same problem a few months ago and it was repaired as you explained. Sorry, I can't give you answers. I did a search and nothing helped.
