Hi
I'm having some weird problems running an usb keyboard on my 5.x system.
The same keyboard works under 4.x.
As soon as usb0 loads both ps/2 and usb keyboards stop working.
I found out this by running the bootload in pause mode. The line it
stops at says:
usb0: <Intel 82371AB/EB (PIIX4) USB controller) on uhci0
I've had this problem with earlier versions of 5.x aswell.
Hope this problem can be resolved quickly.
Regards
Daniel Johansson

Re: Odd hardware problem ... PS/2 or USB keyboard?... Have you tried to use instead of PS/2 / USB the opposite? ... is the bios up2date?... I guess, you do the reboot by 'init 6' - so it would be interesting, if this problem still exists, when you use the reset button ) ... (Fedora)
Re: ELI passphrase on boot with USB keyboard ... To get this working, I of course need to boot from a separate device, and for that I use an SD card, which holds a boot directory. ...

Moreover, the usb keyboard works upto and including the boot menu (I guess the hardware is strictly under BIOS control then, and the kernel doesnt really know if the keboard is usb or ps/2). ...
