Sorry, I forgot about this. A did a few rebout-rounds and indeed it is fixed when going from grub-legacy to grub2.

Hello Paul, could you please try out if Bean's change really did fix the problem for you? I.e. install grub-legacy then grub-pc package and choose to chainload grub2 It would be very nice. -- Felix Zielcke -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Hello Paul, somebody else reported this now directly upstream and confirmed that Bean's change did fix this. It would be very nice if you could confirm this too. So please install grub-legacy into your MBR and then install the grub-pc package and then please do: grub-install --no-floppy --grub-setup=/bin/true "(hd0)" -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

This doesn't confirm that the problem is fixed, only that you can work around it. Please can you go back to the old situation and check if Bean's commit in upstream fixed your problem? -- Robert Millan The DRM opt-in fallacy: "Your data belongs to us.

Yes, it was the fact that grub2 was chainloaded that caused the problem. But I was afraid to upgrade because grub2 didn't seem to work. A deadlock. But I dared the upgrade and it works fine. So you might want to add a note saying that an upgrade might even be wise even though it seems to lock up. Sorry for the delay, a good thing you reminded me :) Paul -- PhD Student @ Eindhoven | email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] University of Technology, The Netherlands | JID: [EMAIL PROTECTED] >>> Using the Power of Debian GNU/Linux <<< | GnuPG key ID: 0x50064181 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Hello, Now with seeing that report again I remembered again this commit upstream: 2008-07-21 Bean <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> * kern/i386/pc/startup.S (gate_a20_try_bios): Change test order for a20. Run keyboard test last, as it will cause macbook to halt. Though I don't know anything at all if this change affects your keyboard problem or not. This is included in our current lenny version 1.96+20080724-7. Please test this version and like Robert already suggested try without chainloading and grub2 directly in the MBR. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
