fyi to keep people from reading the whole thread, the patch bryan is talking 
about should be this:

 Instead of totally disabling test_kbd_port and test_aux_port
 completely with Jung-uk Kim's patch, Scott Long suggested
 that I try removing one or two calls to test_kbd_port at a
 time from atkbd.c.  My first guess at the problem was the 
 first time test_kbd_port was called in probe_keyboard():

   test_controller(kbdc);
 - test_kbd_port(kbdc);
 + //test_kbd_port(kbdc);
  
   err = get_kbd_echo(kbdc);
  
 This patch fixes my booting problems.  Any problems with
 test_aux_port have most likely already been fixed by a
 recent commit.

unless i'm mistaken we don't support dynamic load-time flags, do we? jhb got a 
more streamlined patch for that too in the same thread.
