Hi,
I carefully followed "Gentoo Linux USB Guide" and tried
everything, but my usb-keyboard is still not working...

I doubt there is hardware problem in keyboard itself,
because it works in bios as well as on lilo-screen, and
it even works when I attach to PS2-port using adapter.

In kernel-config (2.6.22) Support for Host-side USB is
activated, EHCI/OHCI/UHCI HCD support, USB mass storage
support, and USB Human Interface Devide (full HID)
in Generic HID Support.

I can select kernel on lilo screen, but after boot-up
process is finished, my keyboard is dead. I tried to pull
it out, and reconnect, no difference. What can I do more?

Is this on the console or in X?
X has recently changed the keyboard and mouse configuration to use HAL

Is it?
I have X without hal working here.
As long as it works it can help to make things easier.
But it can be disabled.

True here to... I've been running without hal for a while. At the
most recent update world (3 days ago now) I noticed something wanted
to pull in hal, but quickly put `-hal' under /etc/make.conf USE, and
proceeded without it.

If you've upgraded xorg-server recently, you also need to rebuild and
of the xorg drivers you have installed. I didn't do that at the
upgrade mentioned above and had no mouse keyboard in X either.

First I found all drivers with `eix -Ic |grep driver'

Then re-emerged them all. Rebooted and mouse/keyboard worked in X
then.

I'm running a much newer kernel than what you posted, so not sure how
that effected things.

Sorry, I forgot to say, I'm talking about console.

It seems usb-keyboard is there (at least in dmesg output),
but it simply does not work at all. Even NumLock & SysLock
keys do not switch checklights on/off. It is like frozen...
