From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7) Gecko/20040803 Firefox/0.9.3 Description of problem: After selecting the kernel from the bootloader nothing happens with the keyboard or mouse, they act nonexistant. Both are ps2. A usb mouse does work. Also, it is sometimes possible to get the keyboard to work when kudzu is detecting hardware, but was only effective once. I am using the Fedora core 2 off of "A practical guide to redhat linux". I am using the Intel OR840 workstation board. I had a problem like this before when using gentoo, but it only affected the mouse, and the resolution was to switch from the ps2 tty to /dev/psaux. I tried cat'ing different tty's but there are too many of them. Maybe this is a kernel issue? Also, the caps lock, and numlock lights do not turn on after the selection of the kernel. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Turn on computer and choose a kernel from grub. 2.Ps2 failure, no errors. Actual Results: Ps2 does not work. Expected Results: The use of a keyboard and mouse. Additional info:
Fedora Core 2 has now reached end of life, and no further updates will be provided by Red Hat. The Fedora legacy project will be producing further kernel updates for security problems only. If this bug has not been fixed in the latest Fedora Core 2 update kernel, please try to reproduce it under Fedora Core 3, and reopen if necessary, changing the product version accordingly. Thank you.
