From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.10) Gecko/20050719 Fedora/1.7.10-1.3.1 Description of problem: The system is a Supermicro dual 2.4G XEON workstation with dual ATAPI drives, PS/2 keyboard, and PS/2 mouse. I updated from RH9 to FC4.0 (with some pain), and upon first boot, the SMP kernel OOPS'ed. If I turned on ACPI in the BIOS, the SMP kernel would boot, but I did not have a keyboard or mouse. The upgraded 2.6.12 SMP kernel would at least boot. I can provide additional information including motherboard, etc. tomorrow. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 2.6.11 and 2.6.12 kernels How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Turn on computer 2. Select SMP kernel 3. Try to use the keyboard Actual Results: no keyboard or mouse Expected Results: a functioning computer Additional info: To be provided upon request
Tried the i8042.nomux kernel option. I still can not boot. Currently I am using Fedora Core 4 kernel 2.6.12-1.1398_FC4smp.
Bios was version 1.0. I visited the Supermicro site and downloaded/installed bios 1.3b. Upon reboot, the system now has a keyboard/mouse with SMP kernel! Issue appeared to be the bios version.
I do recommend that this be added to a FAQ. If others find a similar problem, upgrading the BIOS could be the solution.
