Re: USB-Support and keyboard driver should go into kernel image

If your system is not PC2001-based and legacy emulation does not work transparently, I'm afraid it may be just a BIOS bug. May be. But even if so, the BIOS bug won't be repared, but we can workaround with USB-aware kernels. Before moving too much stuff around, I decided to make this modification in my udma100-ext3 only, since I allready included some patches needed for ultra-modern hardware. Then I will document this an some significant place in the installation docs. Gruss/Regards, Eduard. -- You got a plan? 'Let's try not to get killed.' Brilliant.

I hope No, it is a board from 1999 with the good old KT133 chipset. you can help to improve USB keyboard support in Debian. I will file grave bug reports on most i386 kernel images soon.
