Re: Release 7.0 Beta2
Thanks for the inputs. The keyboard responds in the Welcome screen. So I can stop and select different booting options. But later when the kernel boots, the usb controller driver gives an error. Here is what I saw in the bootup messages: ... usb1: host controller halted uhub1: usb device problem (IOERROR), disabling port 1 ... The system is Dell Dimension 3100 with Intel Pentium4 processor. When I googled, I found a related PR. ... kern/100746: system does not boot due to USB keyboard problem on Dell 3100 ... That bug was related to usb panic, and it seems to have been fixed. What I observe now is that the usb keyboard works in the boot loader, but fails to be configured by the kernel. Regards, Srinivas.

I forgot to mention that this was seen with 7.0Beta4 released on Dec 3. On 12/10/07, Srinivasa R Kanduru [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Thanks for the inputs. The keyboard responds in the Welcome screen.

Release 7.0 Beta2
Hi, I was trying to install FreeBSD 7.0 Beta2 on a dell x86 machine which doesn't have any PS2 ports. The installer expects a PS2 keyboard I think. The USB port is disabled for some reason and it is not possible to proceed further in the installation process. Is this a known issue ?
