When I issue sudo tail -f/var/log/syslog in order to try and track down an external drive problem I get the following:
Jan 11 07:56:00 kernel: [17179663.076000] atkbd.c: Unknown key released (translated set 2, code 0x81 on isa0060/serio0).

Jan 11 07:56:00 kernel: [17179663.084000] atkbd.c: Unknown key pressed (translated set 2, code 0xd9 on isa0060/serio0).

Jan 11 07:56:11 kernel: [17179674.012000] atkbd.c: Use'setkeycodes e059 <keycode>' to make it known.
I have no idea what this means. atkbd presumably means AT keyboard? Can anybody translate the rest and point me at what might be wrong with my keyboard setup?
By the way ,the server is CentOS 5.3 x86_64, and kernel version is 2.6.18-128
Thanks....
Are you using a wireless keyboard??

No , I use the USB keyboard ....
Hmm, I usually get tons of that on my desktop linux machine that has a wireless keyboard, but if I use a ps2 keyboard I none of it.
I also notice it with keyboards with ton's of extra functions (volume, audio functions, etc..). I believe its something with special key mappings. Do u have another keyboard to test with?

You might find this document has useful information on scancodes:
http://www.win.tue.nl/~aeb/linux/kbd/scancodes-10.html#ss10.1
It seems that perhaps you have pressed a key that emits an unknown scancode. I have seen this before on older laptops when typing the Fn key. You might also see it when using extended keys on multimedia keyboards.
Can you determine if these are generated while using the text console or instead inside X11?
What keyboard mapping are you using?

Thanks for your reply on this .
Em.. it generated on the text console .Maybe it is caused by my keyboard. But I don't remember what I type .
By the way, I sent that bug to the redhat bugzilla system, hope it would be solved soon.

Exactly what type of keyboard do you have? (eg. what does lsusb say?)
What about the kernel log at startup?
Here's mine (on an Ubuntu laptop) -- the -Cn argument gives the surrounding n lines of context.
$ grep -C2 keyboard /var/log/dmesg [ 0.595625] BIOS EDD facility v0.16 2004-Jun-25, 0 devices found [ 0.595631] EDD information not available. [ 0.638265] input: AT Translated Set 2 keyboard as /devices/platform/i8042/serio0/input/input5 [ 0.642953] Freeing initrd memory: 7784k freed [ 0.688496] ata1.00: ATA-8: A-DATA_SSD_16GB, 081210, max UDMA/100
Note that my example, the "i8042" driver (standard PC Keyboard) is being used. In your case, the isa0060 driver is being used.
Do you have an embedded trackpad or pointing device in the keyboard? Where is your mouse plugged in?
This post discusses a very similar issue (albeit on Debian) http://www.linux-archive.org/debian-user/276835-atkbd-c-unknown-key-pressed-...
Hope it helps. Cameron
Oh, and I forgot to mention this one also:
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=76271
(The problem also happens in Redhat-based systems, but there seems to be more resolution in Debian-based forums)
