What usb port are you using ?

I am using the right rear port .
On this is a 4 port hub to which is connected a ps/2 keyboard and mouse to usb adaptor.

It is still there on my Sam440ep. I have U-Boot 1.3.1d and Update2 installed (uhci.usbhcd V53.7).

This was a USB software issue and has been fixed.

For my own I'm using a PS/2 keyboard and I have had the issue on my A1XEG4 since as long as I can remember. Note that in fact that's not really the first keyboard that'is eaten but I suspect the first input.device event related to keyboard (and mouse? but it's more difficult to spot) as moving the mouse prior any keyboard press will solve the problem for me.

Sadly i must admit that sometimes it still happens also on my A1XE with a PS2 Keyboard. I told this also to max yesterday night. I will report it in bugzilla this evening.

I can lose the first keypress on my A1-XE using a PS/2 keyboard. It usually happens after a really bad crash, that locks up the machine and requires a case reset. In that case I can be sure that the first keypress is going to be lost.

Using USB keyboards, the first keypress is sometimes lost. It varies with the release (I keep changing releases), the machine (Sam 440ep, Sam 440ep-FLex or Sam 460ex) and what happened last (eg a crash, a HW reset or a power down/up).
Using the current beta release or the current version of Update 3, I don't usually lose the first character. However, if I reset the Sam 460 after a lockup, it is still sometimes lost.

So I would suggest that when Update 3 comes out, you will only lose the first keypress after a total lockup and HW reset.

As to the first key not repeating, I would guess it is the same problem.
cheers
