FreeBSD 6.2-RELEASE on Dell Optiplex 210L

[Mike Barnard]

Hi,

i am having a rather peculiar problem with Dell Optiplex 210L. I have been
trying to install FreeBSD 6.2-Release on this hardware with no success...i
have also tried 6.1 release, as well as 6.0 release but still get the same
error, at the same point. i attempted with a boot only CD for 6.1-Release as
well.

it boots well, but gets to a point and logs:

usb1: Host controller halter
uhub1: device problem (IOERROR), disabling port 1
panic: usbd_transfer: not done

and reboots...

if i remove the USB keyboard, all above versions of FreeBSD boot, but when i
plug the keyboard back in, its not functional. i managed to get it to boot
once with the keyboard plugged in, but loose it after it gets to the
sysinstall part.

I disabled the front USB ports and got no difference, i disabled the USB
controller from BIOS, but of course that leaves me with no USB functionality
on the system.

any one come across this? i ruled out a problem with FreeBSD and USB
functionality because i installed FreeBSD 6.2-RELEASE on to a Dell PowerEdge
1950 and it worked welltried all other 6.x that i have and they worked
well too!

Regards,

Mike

Of course, you might discount this possibility, but remember that one in

Is everything ok with USB keyboard? Have you the same when plugged it to  
other boxes?

Does PS/2 keyboard works well?

i have tried three other keyboards on it, all the keyboards are working
fine...

Does PS/2 keyboard works well?




Dell boxes are not shipping with PS/2 ports, well, not for the optiplex 210L
anyway
