The PS/2 keyboard mostly works with KolibriOS on my Asrock
E350M1 with coreboot+SeaBIOS. Out of about 10 tests, it did
fail once. In that case the SeaBIOS debug messages showed
that SeaBIOS did not detect the PS/2 keyboard.

I don't know why the USB mouse doesn't work. It works with
the OEM BIOS, but not coreboot+SeaBIOS.

If you want to see my build options (and rom image+boot log),
it is here:

I switched the SATA to IDE mode only to work around an
AMD simnow problem. One line is added to agesa to work
around another simnow problem. Other changes are hacks
to get SeaBIOS to build from Windows. Building SeaBIOS
from Windows is truly a painful experience. When I modify
the makefile to work around a couple of problems with
the Windows build environment, git gets upset.

Thanks,
Scott
