keyboard lost after first reboot
 

..during isntallation the keyboard stopped working
after the initial reboot.. could not make next selection..
tried another reboot, same result.

Gateway 2000 with original keyboard that works fine in
non-Slackware distros.:confused:

Any workaround?

Make sure your keyboard connection is secured, if so try another keyboard.

Same problem, but at my notebook.
 

Hello, I'm having the same problem but i'm using a Presario 2100 notebook. And the keyboard is working properly (i'm typing right now) but at boot when he ask if the keyboard is US or NON-US the keyboard do not answer, and it stop responding (even the Caps Lock is Locked [off])
What i'm supposed to do to fix this? The Key board is US style.
Thanks

re:keyboard lost after first reboot
 

Hi
I had the same problem. After reinstalling 3 or 4 times with the same result I took a different approach.
This computer duel boots with ubuntu, so I logged into that and opened Slackwares /etc/inittab file and changed the run level from 3 to 4. Then tried rebooting into Slackware but with the same result, no keyboard or mouse!!
Then I realised that I'm using a usb mouse, so I changed that for a ps/2 mouse and rebooted.... and here I am!
Everythings working.
So I guess its the usb mouse that Slack doesn't like.
I don't know what the answer is yet but at least there is a way around the problem.


legin

I get it
 

I have just fixed it,
go to the BIOS, and set Legacy USB --> Disabled.
That´s all!
Worked for me!!
Thanks
