For what it's worth, these settings don't activate my keyboard,
but... tadam...  the mouse is recognised, finally.  However, if
I have to choose to use either keyboard or mouse, I'd choose the
keyboard.

CONFIG_INPUT_KEYBOARD=y
CONFIG_KEYBOARD_ATKBD=y
# CONFIG_KEYBOARD_SUNKBD is not set
# CONFIG_KEYBOARD_XTKBD is not set
# CONFIG_KEYBOARD_NEWTON is not set
CONFIG_KEYBOARD_HIL=y
CONFIG_INPUT_MOUSE=y
CONFIG_MOUSE_PS2=y
CONFIG_MOUSE_SERIAL=y
CONFIG_MOUSE_HIL=y
# CONFIG_INPUT_JOYSTICK is not set
# CONFIG_INPUT_TOUCHSCREEN is not set
CONFIG_INPUT_MISC=y
# CONFIG_INPUT_PCSPKR is not set
# CONFIG_INPUT_UINPUT is not set
# CONFIG_HP_SDC_RTC is not set

Any idea how to get the keyboard detected again?
(This is a 725/100)

If it helps to provide more information, please let me know and I'll
dig them out.

Makes sense.  However, would it be useful to add this to the config
help texts?  Same for the dependency of a HIL mouse to the MOUSE_PS2,
if HIL always takes PS/2 mice.  I know this is not the case in general,
since my 425 uses HIL but doesn't use PS/2, but then again, it's m68k
and not parisc.  However, it may be the case on PA-RISC, I don't know.
In that case it may make sense to rearrange the ordering and move
MOUSE_HIL up so it can pre-select MOUSE_PS2.

Anyway, here's a short improvement for the MOUSE_PS2 help text:
