 |
|
Hello everybody.
I'm using grub-0.97-r3 on my amd64 machine.
| Code: | | [ebuild R ] sys-boot/grub-0.97-r3 USE="-custom-cflags -netboot -static" 0 kB |
Grub seems to not recognize usb keyboards, so I can't select an alternate kernel to boot if I don't connect an old PS2 keyboard.
I tryed to enable USB emulation on my motherboard BIOS, but enabling this feature grub don't start at all...

Don't know about your motherboard and its BIOS, but mine (A7N8XE DLC) has an option for enabling "Legacy USB Keyboard", grub works fine after enabling that.

So it's my motherboard problem, grub itself can't manage usb keyboards...
My motherboard is an ABIT AV8
