Re: Anyone else see USB keyboard problems on FC2 with the new '770' kernel?
Don-t know if it's any relation (since I run custom kernels), but 2.6.11 broke dell laptop keyboards - fixed in 2.6.11.1 (patch on kernel.org). jeff (running 2.6.11.1 on a Dell laptop now - so whatever it was was fixed). --- Bruce Dawson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > On Tue, 2005-03-08 at 17:17 -0500, Bill Freeman wrote: > > I'm running Fedora Core 2, and recently installed the > > 2.6.10-1.770 kernel (some kind of shift in the > numbering) that I got > > from up2date.

Maybe I'll try to move to a more recent kernel and see if the other devices work. OTOH, right now I'm stuck on dial-up, and the winmodem driver I'm using doesn't seem to compile against kernel-2.6.10-1.12_FC2, so I may be stuck on 2.6.8-1.521 for a while yet... Incidentally, the new naming scheme seems to be an old naming scheme, with the -X.XX_FC2 being fairly recent, AFAIK... Or maybe they can't decide between the two and keep waffling... Mmmm, waffles.

Actually, I've been using 2.6.10 kernels just fine for a while. (Through 2.6.10-1.14_FC2, in fact. Not that the 1.14 means a whole lot to other than a Fedora release guy.) It's just the latest build (2.6.10-1.770 -- interesting change of numbering strategy) from Fedora, which showed up in the last couple of days, that seems to have a problem. Nothing else is changed at the surface level. Fedora truly loads a lot of dreck: rfcomm, bluetooth, battery, other stuff I don't recognize. (What's the point of having modules anyway? If they're always going to load all this stuff it may as well be staticly linked into the kernel.) I can't tell you what it tries to load with the '770 kernel because I can't log in and ask without a working keyboard. They sure don't make it easy to figure out how to submit a bug report. I'll try harder if something doesn't show up on the Fedora announce list in a few days.

I haven't tried my USB keyboard with the kernel-2.6.10-1.12_FC2 kernel, but I have had a number of USB-related problems with every kernel I've used since the 2.6.8-1.521 kernel. I often experience kernel oopses with both my digital camera and my DVD writer with the later kernels.

I've got SuSE 9.2, and I switched to a USB keyboard and mouse when I got a new monitor. I've used the 2.6.8 kernel supplied with SuSE and the 2.6.11 kernel. No problems.

Anyone else see USB keyboard problems on FC2 with the new '770' kernel?
I'm running Fedora Core 2, and recently installed the 2.6.10-1.770 kernel (some kind of shift in the numbering) that I got from up2date. If I boot from it, my USB keyboard stops working. (I guess that I should try a PS/2 keyboard.) Am I alone? Bill ___ gnhlug-discuss mailing list gnhlug-discuss@mail.gnhlug.org http://mail.gnhlug.org/mailman/listinfo/gnhlug-discuss
