I finally got around to getting my dual boot back up and running...

If my keyboard is plugged in via both PS/2 and USB my new linux kernel doesn't see the keyboard. What option did skip over?

Unfortunately, to get by this I had to to unplug the PS/2 connector but then I couldn't use my keyboard to select a different option within lilo. So I enabled Legacy USB Support in the BIOS, except now Windows XP won't boot.

The easiest option is going to be to fix my kernel... just gotta figure out what I did wrong.

Does anyone know why Windows won't boot if Legacy USB Support is enabled?

Yep, it won't work in the BIOS or LILO selection screen without the PS/2 plugged in, unless I enable Legacy USB Support in the BIOS. Except when I do that, XP won't boot.
