Re: locked out.
Hi Chris, Just did a fresh install. Now I'm locked out of my machine Do you mean your keyboard is permanently disabled? Is it USB or PS/2? What happens if you try to use the keyboard during the BIOS messages, eg to access the BIOS setup? Or does it only go dead after the Linux kernel has booted?

locked out.
Hi all. Just did a fresh install. Now I'm locked out of my machine .. my machine is taking no keyboard input. Mouse, yes. I've even tried other installs on the same machine ...still nothing. Tried other keyboards, same thing I'm stumped here, anyone know why or how this can happen? Thanks for any ideas, Chris W. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

Re: locked out.
Hi Chris Same happened to me with the last update on 64studio. I'll pass this on the Daniel as it has us stumped, and now looks like a bug in the new Kernel. Did you get the change keyboard map?? cheers Bob CHRIS WAKEFIELD wrote: Hi all. Just did a fresh install. Now I'm locked out of my machine .. my machine is taking no keyboard input. Mouse, yes.

Re: locked out.
I'm using the lastest current install iso I think its 2.6.12. It's an at keyboard. haven't tried apci=off, but I will. I'll check the legacy support for usb, but I don't use usb. What's funny, is that I've had no problems with the keyboard, but once I booted that fresh install, the keyboard wouldn't work with my other linux installs...very odd. I'm in a mess here, I hosed my main system with dist-upgrade ;^) Thanks for your assistance, Chris W. - Original Message - From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Lennart Sorensen) Date: Thursday, December 8, 2005 5:57 am Subject: Re: locked out.

Which kernel (2.4 or 2.6)? Is usb legacy supprot enabled in the bios? Does adding acpi=off to the kernel options help?

I'm in a mess here, I hosed my main system with dist-upgrade ;^) Could be your keymap too. Lots of systems seem to have keyboard problems due to keymap changes lately at least on 2.6 kernels. The usb legacy support in bioses can screw up if buggy and prevent a real ps/2 keyboard from working in some cases. acpi also sometimes seems to have bugs that break keyboard support. I assume the keyboard works fine at the boot loader? Len Sorensen -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
