Anyone else see USB keyboard problems on FC2 with the new
'770' kernel?

Actually, I've been using 2.6.10 kernels just fine for a
while. (Through 2.6.10-1.14_FC2, in fact. Not that the 1.14 means a
whole lot to other than a Fedora release guy.) It's just the latest
build (2.6.10-1.770 -- interesting change of numbering strategy) from
Fedora, which showed up in the last couple of days, that seems to have
a problem. Nothing else is changed at the surface level.
Fedora truly loads a lot of dreck: rfcomm, bluetooth, battery,
other stuff I don't recognize. (What's the point of having modules
anyway? If they're always going to load all this stuff it may as well
be staticly linked into the kernel.)
I can't tell you what it tries to load with the '770 kernel
because I can't log in and ask without a working keyboard.
They sure don't make it easy to figure out how to submit a bug
report. I'll try harder if something doesn't show up on the Fedora
announce list in a few days.
