Bug#366168: debian-installer: usbhid NOT loaded by udev at initrd stage = no keyboard on USB-only system

It should load hid (it's not called usbhid in 2.4) when it runs, unconditionally, assuming there is a /proc/bus/pci/devices. Don't you have that file? > 2.6 kernels don't try finding any AT keyboard and forget usbhid too. Until today when Kamion put it back in, we didn't have usb-discover on 2.6 images, relying on just udev to load usb stuff for 2.6. It sounds like udev is not working on your hardware; maybe you need to file a bug on udev? I'm also interested in whether Kamion's change of adding usb-discover back to the 2.6 images fixed the issue for you, since based on what you said about 2.4 it seems usb-discover is also not working on your hardware. BTW: What geode hardware exactly is it? -- see shy jo signature.asc Description: Digital signature
Bug#366168: debian-installer: usbhid NOT loaded by udev at initrd stage = no keyboard on USB-only system
Package: debian-installer Severity: important -BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 As suggested by Kamion, I'm filing the bug I discussed on #debian-boot. My particular situation is an installation on a Geode (i586 compatible single-chip PC) with a Compact Flash attached to the Geode's IDE bus. I'm using the hd-media kernels, following a recipe similar to the USB stick installation. I bootstrap d-i kernels using LILO from the Geode's CF (to compensate for the Geode's lack of a complete BIOS), while the businesscard ISO resides on a USB stick to avoid file locks during the drive formating stage (the CF is my root drive). The problem is that udev doesn't load usbhid during the initrd stage, which later makes it impossible for me to run through the installation because the keyboard is not accessible without usbhid. I have tried the daily hd-media kernels and initrds (both 2.4 and 2.6). 2.4 kernels waste time trying to find an AT keyboard that isn't there, then forget to load usbhid. 2.6 kernels don't try finding any AT keyboard and forget usbhid too. The funny thing in both cases is that usbcore and usb-storage are both found, which means that the USB stick on which the ISO resides and the keyboard's built-in hub are accessible; the only missing part is usbhid to actually be able to type something. The LILO config I use to bootstrap d-i kernels from the CF: lba32 disk=/dev/sda bios=0x80 boot=/dev/sda install=/boot/boot.b image=/vmlinuz append="initrd=initrd.gz ramdisk_size=12000 root=/dev/ram rw" initrd=/initrd.gz root=/dev/ram0 I'd appreciate any help on getting the udev in initrd to successfully detect the hardware and systematically load usbhid.

Booting order - problem
Hi, Could somebody help me with setting booting order in kernel ? My actual problem is that fstab wont mount harddisk USB and SATA ( no problem with IDE where my system is) Actualy i can mount them manulay when its boot finish and i log in. I looked in dmesg and there i found that all HDD i need mount are inicialised as almoust last thing... So problem is that fstab start mounting before they inicialise ... Any idea how to fix this ?

The script must previously check it. Please explain why you are filing this bug. The bugs you quote seem to speak for themselves and will no doubt be solved by their respective package maintainers in due course. Also, your bug report does not seem to have anything to do with Debian Installer, which is what the "installation" pseudo package is supposed to be used for.

Yes, you are right. Right now we are telling "we don't like your attitude". It is not told in written word, it is told by action.
