I've run across this problem countless times doing installs RH and Mandrake. For some reason they have not included full support for USB in the default kernel. After installing with a standard keyboard and mouse, I've had to configure and compile the kernel to include full support for usb and usb initial file sys. Usually after a fresh install I got to kernel.org and acquire a vanilla kernel since I'll be compiling it anyway and go from there. As always YMMV.
I tried some other installing 7.3 using and when got a "kernel panic"
error right off on boot. Then I thought, hmmm, usb keyboard? I
removed the usb keyboard and put a generic non-usb keyboard on it;the
8.0 install went without a hitch. So I know have a working 8.0 system
that I can experiment with networking and the like. I also have my son
using it to browse the net :-)
But the real question for me is, why couldn't the installation deal
with the usb keyboard? If I plug the keyboard back in, will it work? I haven't found too much on usb keyboards on the web or on the SxS
site.
Thoughts?
