Kernel 2.6.10-1.737_FC3 did not fix the problem. Is this a Dell-only problem? are you going through a KVM switcher or direct ? No, the keyboard is connected directly. Also the X-Windows starts with a flattering screen... Directly after booting the MS Natural keyboard does not function anymore; after releasing the left shift all lights flashes one time. Kernel 2.6.10-1.741_FC3 did not fix the problem. Created attachment 110532 [details]
/var/log/dmesg
I just did a clean install of FC3 on a Dell Precision 530 and had similiar
problems with any PS/2 keyboard. The keyboard works fine during bios and grub
interaction but at some point during the boot, it locks up and can't be used. I
had to put a USB keyboard as I tried two different PS/2 keyboards and they
didn't work. Even after installing the 741 kernel, it failed to work. The
system was previously running FC1 with no problems so it seems like a 2.4
versus 2.6 problem.
kernel-2.6.10-1.760_FC3 did not fix the problem. kernel-2.6.10-1.766_FC3 did not fix the problem. kernel-2.6.11-1.14_FC3 did not fix the problem. An update has been released for Fedora Core 3 (kernel-2.6.12-1.1372_FC3) which may contain a fix for your problem. Please update to this new kernel, and report whether or not it fixes your problem. If you have updated to Fedora Core 4 since this bug was opened, and the problem still occurs with the latest updates for that release, please change the version field of this bug to 'fc4'. Thank you. kernel-2.6.12-1.1372_FC3 did not fix the problem. FC4 with kernel 2.6.12-1.1447_FC4 did not fix the problem. Mass update to all FC4 bugs: An update has been released (2.6.13-1.1526_FC4) which rebases to a new upstream kernel (2.6.13.2). As there were ~3500 changes upstream between this and the previous kernel, it's possible your bug has been fixed already. Please retest with this update, and update this bug if necessary. Thanks. 2.6.14-1.1637_FC4 has been released as an update for FC4. Please retest with this update, as a large amount of code has been changed in this release, which may have fixed your problem. Thank you. I tested the new kernel but the keyboard has the same problems as with older kernels. For now I am using a PS/2 to USB converter to use the ms-naturalkeyboard. *** Bug 143557 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** This is a mass-update to all currently open kernel bugs. A new kernel update has been released (Version: 2.6.15-1.1830_FC4) based upon a new upstream kernel release. Please retest against this new kernel, as a large number of patches go into each upstream release, possibly including changes that may address this problem.
