Description Alexander Boström 2010-04-25 19:39:56 UTC 
Description of problem:
When Anaconda switches to graphical mode the keyboard stops working and the mouse pointer won't move either.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
anaconda 13.38

How reproducible:
Always.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Boot into the installer (I used preupgrade, booting from /boot/upgrade but removed the kickstart argument)
2. Choose language and keyboard (English, sv-latin1)
  
Additional info:
Keyboard is PS/2, mouse is USB.

Is this "bug 553780 - keyboard/mouse input not accepted in stage2" again?

Could be, but then I would expect a lot more similar reports, I think this is xorg / the kernel locking up. Moving over to xorg.

Maybe, but not completely. I forgot to mention: With the right kickstart config it shows a text entry box with a still blinking cursor, so it's still alive.

I'll try to figure out a way to debug this.
Comment 3 Andy Lutomirski 2010-04-29 14:26:25 UTC 
I have the same problem.  It's not a crash.  Here's how I debugged it:

1. Boot with nokill.  Makes life a *lot* easier.
2. Wait for the install to "hang."  This is 100% reliable.
3. Alt+SysRQ+r
4. Ctrl-Alt-F2

OK, now we're in business.  dmesg shows no errors at all.

Looking at /tmp/X.log, I see lots of "(EE) No input driver/identifier specified (ignoring)"

I think that there are two problems with the preupgrade image:

1. /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-evdev.conf is missing.  That file is importable.
2. Note the above path.  /etc/xorg.conf.d should be /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d

Fixing both of those from the console causes Xorg to work (although it's too late for anaconda at that point).

This is X.log pulled after forcibly switching the VT.
Comment 5 Hans de Goede 2010-04-29 16:50:45 UTC 
Thanks for the ping (by mail), you're right this is not an X-server issue but a bad interaction between the X server and anaconda, which has been fixed now.
