+Subject: [PATCH 1/1] keylayouts: don't print "Unknown key" message
+
+on keyboards with stuck keys, this results in GRUB just
+spewing it repeatedly, preventing use of GRUB.
+
+in such cases, it's still possible to use the keyboard,
+and we should let the user at least boot.
+
+it often appears when people plug in faulty usb keyboards,
+but can appear for laptop keyboards too; one of my e6400
+has stuck keys.
+
+with this patch, grub should be a bit more reliable in
+terms of user experience, when the keyboard is faulty.
