Passing to QA to reproduce if we have required hw. I had something similar happen in Florence beta-2: I had a Microsoft two-button serial mouse (DB9) plugged into COM1 (this older machine doesn't have any mouse hardware), and it identified the mouse as three-button PS/2: Running anaconda - please wait... Probing for mouse type... Found a Generic - 3 Button Mouse (PS/2) I changed it to two-button serial (emulate three) on COM1 later during the actual install. This defect is considered MUST-FIX for Florence Gold release Just to add a little more information, I have a Logitech USB+PS/2 LED mouse. In Flo' beta-2, anaconda detects this as PS/2 whether I plug it in as PS/2 or as USB. Worse, shortly after X is started during the install, everything hangs. (At the language selection screen.) The keyboard stops responding. Even the three-finger salute does nothing. If I CTRL-ALT-F2 away from this screen after X startup but *before* the language selection screen appears, all is fine until I switch back to X. The other windows are alive. But as soon as I ALT-F7 back to X, everything hangs with no response to CTRL-ALT-DEL or CTRL-ALT-Backspace or CTRL-ALT-F<anything>. If I plug the exact same mouse in with its PS/2 adaptor, all is fine. Hardware = ABIT KT7-RAID with Athlon 1.1 Gig and 256 Meg memory. Same behavior in Flo' beta-1 and Flo' beta-2. *** Bug 26313 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** Hardware: HP Netserver 5/100 LH -- Pent, 192M, PCI 3c905B nic, onboard Adaptec AIC-7850 controller pair at rev 1.19S6; all SCSI drives; Texel DM-xx24 K scsi CD-ROM drive (tray type), P/S 2 kbd and mouse (true MS 2 button serial compatible - PS/2 connector) Started with the 'lowres' option, becuase it had graphics issues with the 1 M onboard Cirrus video During the anaconda load, it misdetected the true MS 2-button serial compatible mouse as a 3-button PS/2 compatible mouse More info: On Sun, 11 Feb 2001, Bill Nottingham wrote: > R P Herrold (herrold) said: > > During the anaconda load, it misdetected the true MS 2-button > > serial compatible mouse as a 3-button PS/2 compatible mouse > > Technically, it misdetected the presence of a PS/2 mouse, and > then never bothered to look for the serial mouse. Same effect, > though. ... Indeed, sort of, but no ... it _is_ in the PS/2 port, but through a serial-to-PS/2 adapter pigtail -- I had forgotten that, It is a "Serial - Mouse Port Compatible Mouse", MS Part no 37967 ... If it's in the PS/2 port, it's a PS/2 mouse. |
