If you hit cntl-alt-f2 does it switch to a text command screen? This should be fixed in current trees. I can hit hit cntl-alt-f2: nothing happens. Even if I press cntl-alt-backspace: nothing happens. An nothing happens if I press cntl-alt-del. BTW: I've forgotten: I use PS2 keyboard and USB mouse. I hope the last answer is authoritative! If you boot with 'linux text' you will see a text based install interface. Does you keyboard work then? It dosn't work if I use: linux text The installation proceeds and the keyboard works till a screen appears "Wilcome to RedHat Linux..." And I shall choose "OK" or "Back". But I can't do anything because the keyboard has no effect. I can press <Return> or <Tab> even crtl+alt+del --> nothing happens! Again: I have 15 computers with Board K7 Triton 400/GA-7VA and Athlon 2200+. I can choose any of these computers randomly. The keyboard has no effect. But note! All works with psyche-8.0. (???) Perhaps I can give a hint. There are some related news: http://www.cs.helsinki.fi/linux/linux-kernel/2002-50/0226.html http://www.cs.helsinki.fi/linux/linux-kernel/2002-50/0255.html http://www.uwsg.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0212.1/0891.html Perhaps this helps! Apparently this is a kernel issue. it's not. This should be fixed in current trees. |
