[Voyage-linux] Is the PS/2 keyboard configured work on VIA EPIA?

[Punky Tse]

please check if the /etc/lilo.conf contain a line:

    append="console=ttyS0,9600n8"

I don't know if this line cause you problem.  You can try to remove it and re-run lilo on CF.  But 
doing so you can only ssh to the box.
