|
|
I successfully Installed Gentoo using the stage3 tar ball. After I get everything setup I reboot to the hard drive for the first time and after the kernal loads I get no response from the keyboard at the login prompt.
The things I tried include editing and minimizing the startup scripts such as local.start and rc.conf. I also thought that It could be my keybaoard map but I set it to us and checked for that a map exists for that setting.
Everything works fine when I boot off a CD or to Windows. Running out of ideas---
Thanks. |

There are some differences between my config file and the one fromthe link. One thing that stikes me is the PNP support. I forgot to enable that one in my kernal. Would it be possible for that to affect the keyboard. I have my BIOS set to NO PNP OS so that it intiallizes all the hardware.
The keyboard also works through the boot loader.
I have a MS Natural PS/2 Keyboard. Also tried a different MS keyboard with the same results. |

PNP doesn't seem like a likely suspect. How about CONFIG_VT and/or CONFIG_VT_CONSOLE? _________________ For every higher wall, there is a taller ladder |

Are you using a USB keyboard? If so, make sure you've compiled USB device support in. That got me the first time I set up Gentoo on a system with a USB keyboard and mouse.
