Nothing happens if I go to the "Input Device Support" section in
menuconf, and pick "Keyboards"; I get no new options. Got around it by
manually selecting a keyboard in .config to be able to test it further.
Either I chose the wrong one, or it just doesn't build it anyway, 'cause
the machine would not respond on boot.

Does it have something to do with the menuconfig bug reported elsewhere?
Here's mine, anyway:

/bin/sh ./scripts/Menuconfig arch/i386/config.in
Using defaults found in .config
Preparing scripts: functions,
parsing........................................................................../scripts/Menuconfig:
./MCmenu74: line 56: syntax error near unexpected token `fi'
./scripts/Menuconfig: ./MCmenu74: line 56: `fi'
...............done.

I get the same menuconfig error, but it doesn't affect the keyboard
options listed. The keyboard options show up if you select
"Serial i/o support"

I think you need 'Serial i/o support' just above the 'Keyboards' option

You were indeed right. Sorry for the waste of bandwidth :)

Got it up and running now; a few warnings about unnused variables, but I
guess you guys don't want those reported... or what? :)

Stig, the embarrased one

Quite a few people seem to stumble over the new input layer options.
It's non-obvious to quite a few people that serial i/o is anything to
do with their keyboard. Likewise i8042 doesn't ring 'keyboard' noises
in most peoples heads.

IMO, the input layer options need simplification, or at least
a sensible set of defaults.

Well, the keyboard isn't magically attached. It _is_ a kind
of serial device. Making it default on, and calling the
thing "i8042 (pc keyb/mouse)" ought to be enough.
