From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; .NET CLR 1.1.4322) Description of problem: When Fedora C1 is installed on a server with an Intel CA810E motherboard, linux will fail to boot if the keyboard is not connected. The same motherboard worked fine with Redhat 6.2 and Redhat 7.2 installed with a variety of kernel errata applied. Since I have lots of these motherboards, I've tested it on numerous servers. Also tried a variety of BIOS options, but no change. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): kernel-2.4.22-1.2115.nptl kernel-2.4.22-1.2174.nptl How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Install Fedora 2.Unplug keyboard 3.reboot server Actual Results: server fails to boot Expected Results: server would boot up normally Additional info: [root@ds65 root]# rpm -q kernel kernel-2.4.22-1.2115.nptl kernel-2.4.22-1.2174.nptl The kernel gets this far before it hangs. isapnp: Scanning for PnP Cards..... isapnp: No Plug & Play device found Linux NET4.0 for Linux 2.4 Based upon Swansea University Computer Society NET3.039 Initializing RT netlink socket apm: BIOSS version 1.2 Flags 0x0b (Driver version 1.16)
I have the intel reference board version of the same here, and without keyboard it too hangs at apm: and the kernel appears to enter APM and never return. acpi seems to just work however
Thanks for the bug report. However, Red Hat no longer maintains this version of the product. Please upgrade to the latest version and open a new bug if the problem persists. The Fedora Legacy project (http://fedoralegacy.org/) maintains some older releases, and if you believe this bug is interesting to them, please report the problem in the bug tracker at: http://bugzilla.fedora.us/
