Description Joakim Ryden 2003-12-17 16:23:03 UTC
From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.5)
Gecko/20031110 Firebird/0.7

Description of problem:
Typing anything at the grub menu selector at boot time does not work
with (any?) USB keyboard. My particular keyboard is a standard Apple
USB keyboard. I have to wait for the menu selection to time out, which
of course means I'm only able to boot into the default menu entry.
Keyboard works fine once OS is loaded.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
grub-0.93-7

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Plug in your USB keyboard
2. Reboot
3. Typing or using keyboard at all not possible at grub prompt

What are your BIOS settings with regard to USB?

Comment 2 Joakim Ryden 2003-12-17 17:06:37 UTC
USB{0,1,2,2.0} Access Interface EDB Bus

The only other option for those is to set it to PCI Bus (which I
haven't tried yet)

Comment 3 Joakim Ryden 2003-12-31 01:12:29 UTC
I did try switching to PCI Bus but that made no apparent difference.

Comment 4 Jeremy Katz 2004-01-03 20:34:41 UTC
There isn't an option with regard to legacy usb support?  What type of
machine is this and is it running the most current BIOS?

Comment 5 Jeremy Katz 2004-06-21 23:08:41 UTC
Closing due to lack of activity.  Please reopen if you have further
information to add to this bug report.
