System info: Phoenix Bios 4.0 Release 6.0 Copyright 1985-2003 Pheonix Technologies Ltd. Tyan Tiger i7505 030603 Copyright 1995-2003 Tyan Computer Corporation. Revision V1.01 CPU = 2 -Intel(R) Xeon(TM) CPU 3.06Ghz Created attachment 100493 [details]
dmesg output
I have the same issue on my Intel Dual Xeon box with Hyperthreading. So it appears as four processors. Works fine with the UP kernel. In the "me too" vein of comments I have the exact same problem (keyboard doesn't work when using the SMP kernel) on my Dual Xeon, sans Hyperthreading. RH9 and FC1 SMP kernels worked fine. The same problem exists using a USB mouse or PS2 mouse, and the same "interference" also happens. My dmesg says: usbcore: registered new driver hiddev usbcore: registered new driver hid drivers/usb/input/hid-core.c: v2.0:USB HID core driver mice: PS/2 mouse device common for all mice i8042.c: Can't read CTR while initializing i8042. md: md driver 0.90.0 MAX_MD_DEVS=256, MD_SB_DISKS=27 NET: Registered protocol family 2 IP: routing cache hash table of 16384 buckets, 128Kbytes Turn off USB legacy/USB mouse/USB keyboard support in the BIOS and see if that fixes it. Let me know the result Hi Alan, Brilliant!!! It did the job for me! Of course I hope that soon it will not be required anymore in the future, however, I can live with it! Hooray!!!! Fedora 2, kernel 2.6, gnome 2.6 and all the other goodies...yeah dynamite!!!!!! Hans. I have the same problem with a Tyan 2665 M/B (dual Xeon, i7505 chipset), but my BIOS will not let me disable the USB legacy/USB mouse/USB keyboard. If I turn off the USB controllers comnpletely in the BIOS the keyboard works, but loosing all USB support is a bit drastic:-) I want my USB back :-) Disbling USB Legacy fixes the problem here too ( SuperMicro 6012P-6 MoBo, dual Xeon ) with a USB keyboard. However, it also kills the keyboard for Grub. Its fine during the post and comes back when the kernel takes over from grub. |
