Sun 03 Jun 2012 06:01:12 PM UTC, comment #1: My quick test has showed that GRUB doesn't touch numlook setting. And there is no code to do so other than in sendkey module. Linux, on the other hand has cleared numlock. So this bugreport is likely misplaced. Observations were done with looking at LED. Bit 1 in 497 is only about keyboard LED status, not about keyboard status which is saved in 0x417. |

For BIOS versions that support "Numlock on boot" 0x497 bit 1 will be set, indicating the numlock is set.
