[coreboot] EP80579 coreboot+seabios > keyboard init issue

[Arnaud Maye]

Hello Kevin and others,

I am having troubles with coreboot+seabios. Seabios is not able to 
initialize the keyboard. If I use
coreboot + filo I get the console input without any troubles.

However, coreboot + seabios the console input is not operating properly. 
Looking at the log file
I can see the following :

init keyboard
i8042_flush
i8042 flushed ff (status=ff)
i8042 flushed ff (status=ff)
i8042 flushed ff (status=ff)
i8042 flushed ff (status=ff)
i8042 flushed ff (status=ff)
i8042 flushed ff (status=ff)

i8042 flushed ff (status=ff)
i8042 flushed ff (status=ff)
i8042 flushed ff (status=ff)
i8042 timeout on flush

Googling the last line I've found this :

You appear not to have an i8042 controller (io ports 0x60/0x64).
Which means you wont be able to use the keyboard.

Is this true??*

*Thank you
