keyboard does not respond
when i use the bare.i kernel on the cd the keyboard works just fine. however, when i compile the kernel (be it 2.4 or 2.6.7) the boot process reaches the terminal login but the keyboard is disabled.
what am i doing wrong? and can someone provide advice |
Is it an USB keyboard ?
And if not, in your kernel config, did you enable these features : CONFIG_INPUT_KEYBOARD=y CONFIG_KEYBOARD_ATKBD=y |
is it a USB or PS/2 keyboard?
you might need to load the USB modules.. |
it's a ps/2 keyboard. i use it with a usb mouse.
|
Boot off of the first cd, then go to /etc/rc.d folder
type 'chmod -x rc.gpm' then reboot that should fix your problem if not then try starting in single user mode |
i think i tried disabling the gpm script. and i dont think that helped.
|
If you did disable it and that didn't fix it, then try hitting a key about every second during boot and see when it breaks. When I had that problem it was GPM that was loading last and my keyboard worked just fine until that module started and then I had nothing.

Hey reaz82, why do you think it is a system config problem as you said that your keybord works with the bare.i kernel.
What is your output with : cat /usr/src/linux-2.6.7/.config | grep -i key |

the keyboad doesnt respond during boot.. it's not like it messes up after gpm.. it just doesnt respond at all when the compiled kernel is loading.. |
;) I see, why don't you try to configure your kernel from the config of bare.i ?
