Xen users - Mar 2007 - Keyboard frozen at login screen w/ Xen 3.0.2

I am trying to boot the Xen kernel in Gentoo after having followed the
instructions found at http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Xen_and_Gentoo.  I am
using a Dell Latitude D820 laptop with BIOS version A4.  I''ve tried
enabling
and disabling the Intel VMX extensions, and I''ve tried setting
RC_NET_STRICT_CHECKING in /etc/conf.d/rc to "lo", but all to no avail.
Does
anyone have suggestions on how I can fix this?

Thank you,
Jeff

USB keyboard by any chance?

If so, try a PS/2 keyboard.

I fixed the problem!  Turns out in the Xen kernel the menuconfig "AT
Keyboard" option in Device Drivers->Input Devices->Keyboard can be
set
explicitly.  In the standard Gentoo kernel, this option is implicit and
cannot be set through menuconfig.  This option corresponds to the setting
CONFIG_KEYBOARD_ATKBD=y in the .config file.
