Default Re: AMD64 2.6 weirdness

I hope someone has logged this with bugzilla. While not a show-stopper, it
is embarassing to get hung up on something even the BIOS can handle. I would
really understand if I had a Bluetooth desktop set, BIOS can't recognize for
shitake mushrooms, but wireless keyboards (this one especially) just plugs
into the ps/2 port and looks like any other ps/2 keyboard.

Oh well.
