We were trying to install Open Solaris(SVN_86) on a friend's laptop (An LG E300), and we stumbled upon a problem... The keyboard stops responding after the kernel loads the modules... The strange thing is that it works perfectly with GRUB, but after that, the keyboard dies. It happened some time ago when he was trying to install debian, but it didnt happen when he installed FreeBSD. We also tried installing Solaris 10, but the problem is the same. We read about a similar problem with a MacOS Pro platform, and it seems that the problem is because the laptop has an usb internal keyboard. (The guy with that problem, had an external usb keyboard when the problem came up), the problem was with a module called usbkbm, in the entry USB_KBD_DEFAULT_PACKET_SIZE, the usbkbm module seemed to expect 0bytes boot packets, but the usb keyboard was sending 8bytes packets. The problem and the solution this guy found can be found on the next link: http://mail.opensolaris.org/pipermail/laptop-discuss/2008-July/010985.html Could someone give me a hand with this? We've also tried to turn on (and off) USB Legacy Support, with the same results... keyboard works at GRUB, and stops working after the kernel loads the modules. We can see that there's a problem with a pci controller, but nothing comes to my mind at this moment. The Laptop specs are, Core2Duo 5450, 1.6Ghz, 2GB Ram 667Mhz... The strange thing is that we installed a FreeBSD without any problem before...
Thanks in advance. PD (in spanish for AOSUG): ?alguno tiene idea al respecto? GHReyes -- This message posted from opensolaris.org
