problem with 9.0 rootdisk

kamdh · 04-15-2003, 06:34 PM

When I try to install Slack 9, I boot up the bootdisk, then insert the first rootdisk (install.1). It reads the disk, but problems happen when it starts the USB section. My USB keyboard works up until the first rootdisk, but then the USB drivers don't detect it, but somehow manage to disable it. Is there an option I can pass to the kernel, disabling USB, or a different rootdisk I can use?

Thanks

I found this in the kernel compiling guide:

Support for USB keyboards is now integrated into the installer. If USB device detection causes problems (it shouldn't), it may be skipped by passing the kernel a "nousb" flag at boot.
