laptop keyboard not working

[ItzRealGallox]

Hi, im using kali linux after passing by windows and My Dreamfyre laptop shows “failed to enable keyboard on ISA” at boot. The internal keyboard is detected but pressing keys does nothing(the keyboard works on everything else); an external USB keyboard works fine on my system.
I’ve tried:

• Adding i8042.nomux=1 to GRUB (no change)
• Reinstalling the kernel
• Checking the BIOS (everything looks OK)

The issue persists.
Is this a known problem? Is there a fix?
Thanks

Welcome to the forums, Kali??? its not an acceptable alternative to windows unless you are Linux experience and terminal competent [google and read the "Kali docs" it is designed for one job only and that is pen-testing,

I don't know of your particular brand of laptop, so I cannot comment on any component problems and cannot search without knowing the full make and model number [or year of manufacture]
alternatively tray a different distribution, LMDE7, Parrot home Or MX-AHS for example

Adding i8042.nomux=1 to GRUB (no change)

try this instead

add i8042.dritek=1 to GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT (e.g., GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash i8042.dritek=1").

Run sudo update-grub and reboot

make sure firmware-linux is install

sudo apt install firmware-linux
