Thank you David.
As you surmised, my BIOS does not have the keyboard emulation mode you
mention.
Before I ask you to build the kernel for me, I'll try to round up a more
convertional computer and try to do it myself. Based upon this (and the
other) reply, the key seems to be to compile without any legacy keyboard
I/O, to prevent the hang.
Let me know if your developers have any further suggestions or if anyone has
specific tips to help a newbie achive the kernel build.
Thor
