geli not registering keypresses

Sun Jun 24 14:04:53 UTC 2007

Hello,

I have successfully created GELI encrypted root partition using
FreeBSD 6.2 (i386) in the way described here:
http://events.ccc.de/congress/2005/fahrplan/attachments/586-paper_Complete_Hard_Disk_Encryption.pdf

However, when I boot the kernel from the CD-ROM it refused to accept
my passphrase. I was sure that I was typing it correctly so I googled
around for the similiar problems. I found the following thread:
http://docs.freebsd.org/cgi/getmsg.cgi?fetch=48980+0+archive/2006/freebsd-geom/20060409.freebsd-geom

I set the kern.geom.eli.visible_passphrase to 1 and booted the kernel
again. I noticed that some of my keypresses not appear on the screen.

I tried to circumvent the problem without any success - compiling GELI
support in custom kernel, removing kbdmux, booting from CD-ROM, PXE,
etc. The problem seems to affect only GELI passphrase prompt. I tried
to scroll the console using Scroll Lock and it works as expected, even
when the kernel is waiting for the passphrase. I also used my keyboard
at the loader prompt to load kernel modules without trouble. However
when I start typing the passphrase, I have to press most of the keys
for several (up to 10) times to get registered.

I'm using standard PS/2 keyboard. Here is my dmesg:
