RedHat USB keyboard/mouse not detected w/ usbserial error message
Hello,
I just installed RedHat Enterprise Linux 7.3 on a new system. When booting I see two error messages: Quote:
How do I troubleshoot this? Thank you. P.S. My USB keyboard and mouse works in BIOS and the RHEL GUI installer. I also removed all other USB devices and made sure my keyboard/mouse are connected directly (not through a hub). Trying different ports didn't help. |

https://access.redhat.com/solutions/5238 ..or by running Code:
yum groupinstall "X Window System" "KDE Desktop" And what does Red Hat support say? You're using RHEL 7.3, so you must be paying for it, right? |
Thanks @TB0ne. I actually don't get support because I'm signed up with their free of charge developer subscription.
I tried plugging in my keyboard/mouse *after* boot but no difference there. As for booting into the console, my keyboard and mouse shuts down as soon as I leave the GRUB menu so I don't know how to get to the text only mode. BTW, since this is a clean installation I just re-installed the whole OS, but still the same results... Anything else I can try? |

https://access.redhat.com/documentat...UB_2_Menu.html Instead of keying "emergency" as it says in the example, just put a 3. You can run your yum updates/re-installs from there. Quote:

This is strange (but good)... I re-installed a couple more times, each time slightly tweaking the settings. In the end by changing the Security Policy to something else made my USB devices work, not sure why...
Anyway, I see your point about choice of OS. I just wanted to install RHEL and learn about it as practice. The free-of-charge subscription comes of software updates, is there another reason why CentOS (or its derivatives?) is better in this case? Is it easier to get support for CentOS? |
I'm not sure switching to CentOS would help. Several people seem to have this problem, and one solved it by switching from CentOS to Red Hat! This seems to be one of those rare problems that hasn't really been tackled yet.
One of my dicta is "if in doubt, suspect SELinux". Try adding selinux=0 to the kernel parameters in Grub and see what happens. |

And I'm with DavidMcCann here, and didn't even think of selinux, but it makes total sense. When I poked at things on the RHEL site, it alluded to the X system missing a component, which is why I answered as I did. |
Might look at this page for some things to try. https://www.centos.org/forums/viewtopic.php?t=7590
