It seems that some users have been able to work around usb keyboard hangs on dells by disabling all or port of acpi - by booting with options "-B acpi-user-options=0x8" or "-B acpi-user-options=0x2" And others had success by disabling the uhci usb host controller driver with "-B disable-uhci=true"; but that has the disadvantage that you have no keyboard when it is booted (and the workaround for this is to install a pci usb card with the nec chip (ohci) and attach an usb keyboard to the nec usb controller; I think attaching an usb 2.0 hub and connecting the usb keyboard to the hub might work, too) -- This message posted from opensolaris.org
