Ouch!  I can't do anything by copy from a screen! There is no way to
get `dmesg` without the keyboard! That's why I sent a request to
linux-kernel, hoping that the problem would sound familiar. All I
can do is boot the system (off a CD-ROM) and then pull the plug
when the keyboad doesn't work!

Cheers,
