From
Subjectnewbie kernel hacking question.
Date
Hi all,

I am trying to learn more in operation of kernel, and decided to attempt some
small hacks with a meaningful purpose - 'see it in action' type stuff rather
than just play.

One area to start with I decided is the keyboard warning at boot. I have 5
headless/keyboardless boxes and wish the kernel to stop reporting I have no
keyboard at boot(I KNOW!!).

I finally located where kb gets initialized.

Is it this simple just to undef this in /include/linux/pc_keyb.h

#define KBD_REPORT_TIMEOUTS /* Report keyboard timeouts */

I have read code through, and it appears the right thing to do (and it's so
simple I am in doubt it is this easy), but I am loath to try it in case the
box doesn't come up and I will have to fart around getting out monitor and kb
and move my sofa for access and stuff...

Thanks for any help.

Nick
