Description

Works in BIOS
Works in grub
As soon as the kernel hit, it does not work (both text console and X11), you type but no character get registered (xev does not print anything)

Works on linux on the same hardware (Dell Precision T5610)
Other keyboards work fine, I tested a standard Dell full size keyboard and a TVK Kumo.

$ uname -a
SunOS addie 5.11 illumos-c1bbf9203b i86pc i386 i86pc illumos

I attached :
- /var/adm/messages when connecting the keyboard
- hal-devices

Just coming back to it after some time, cfgadm sees the keyboard once plugged :
usb9/1.5.4 connected configured ok Mfg: Drop Product: Preonic Serial: <undef> NConfigs: 1 Config: 0 <no cfg str descr>

And according to the /var/adm/message output, it is detected as a keyboard, I will try to get some debug output but I am in a unknown territory here.

If there is any guidance, it would be awesome.
