Hello,

I have just completed building LFS 7.1. I have also build KDE 4.8 according to BLFS instructions. Now coming to the problem, my usb keyboard is not working neither in console nor in KDE. It works only in grub menu after that when kernel loads it does not response.

Additional information:
1) I am using kernel 3.2.6
2) usbhid, hid, usbcore and EHCI_HCD are build into kernel image.
3) Earlier i was using PS2 keyboard with PS2 mouse they were working without problem but later when i replaced PS2 keyboard with usb keyboard above problem occurred.
4) I am using udev-181

I don't understand what is the problem have searched google hundred times.

Thanking you in Advance

First thing that comes to mind: Are all those kernel options static or modular? They need to be static. LFS doesn't use initrd, so make sure all that is needed during the boot process is build statically.

Hi,
I don't understand by static build but usbhid, hid, usbcore and EHCI_HCD are not build as module but are built in compressed vmlinuz kernel image.

Did you use a * or an M to select them:Are the bold blue parts a star (*) as shown in the above example, or an M, like this: * means build statically, the M means modular. I hope you now understand, so back to my original question: Are all those kernel options static or modular? They need to be static.

One other thing:
Just to make sure: You are talking about the CLI in runlevel 3 when you say console and not a terminal started from KDE?

Yes they are all static ( * ) none of them is modular.

Yes console that i am talking is CLI in runlevel 3 not the KDE terminal.

My second guess would be that you are missing an option. Pointing you to a specific one is a bit hard not knowing what you have(n't) enabled and your specific hardware.

Are you able to (remotely?) log into that LFS machine and fetch log files and/or execute commands?
If so:
- The output of dmesg after a (re)boot would be nice to see,
- Output of both lsusb and lspci would also be nice.

Have you tried:
- a different USB port?
- enabling OHCI_HCD or UHCI_HCD as well?

For one of my Slackware desktops at my university, I needed to enable both ehci_hcd and uhci_hcd to get all the USB ports working. It may well be that you need to do something similar.

Hi,

Problem is solved thanku "turtleli" and "druuna".

I just enabled OHCI_HCD keyboard is working......... thanku
