 Posted: Thu May 23, 2002 8:20 pm Post subject: USB keyboard not present after first boot |
 |
|
It's a (gulp) Microsoft keyboard with both a USB and PS2 interface (two connectors). It worked fine for the install and even at the GRUB menu when I booted for the first time, but when the kernel booted the numlock LED went out and the keyboard was gone. I compiled UHCI support, support for USB keyboards (and mice), and the full USB HID support in the input core section of menuconfig. This is my first time compiling a kernel for USB, so I was very careful to read all of the help screens that went along with the options.
I am using the 1.1a release with kernel 2.4.18-xfs on an Epox 8K7A+ (RAID disabled in BIOS since I don't use it yet) with an AMD 761/VIA 686B chipset combo. I have ACPI and APM disabled in both the BIOS and in the kernel. The keyboard worked in Windows, Slack, and Mandrake beforehand. Any thoughts?

this happens to me once in a while, just dis- and reconnect the keyboard, the kernel supports hot-plugging. be sure that you added
| Code: | input
mousedev
keybdev
hid
uhci #may be usb-uhci, depends, check /lib/modules
|
to /etc/modules.autoload
and as a note: it was mentioned here that you have to compile usb-support as modules, not into the kernel, to get it to work.
search this forum, there's detailed help floating around
regards,

| Dis- and reconnection the keyboard is nasty. There must be a real fix. Other distributions do not have this problem at all. |
