Keystrokes duplicated on Mac Pro
Last modified: 2008-08-02 19:40:36 EDT
Description of problem: When attempting to install Fedora on a Mac Pro, each keystroke is duplicated (e.g., when I press the "A" key, the installer thinks I typed "AA"). This makes installing Fedora impractical. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Boot FC6 CD in Mac Pro 2. Wait for the curses part of the installation to start 3. Attempt to type Actual results: Each keystroke is duplicated Expected results: Each keystroke is only accepted once Additional info: The installer prints "Disabling IRQ #90" between printing "running /sbin/loader" and actually starting the installer. I don't know if this is related.
I am having the same issue with a MacBook (i386 only). Every keypress is duplicated. The FC6 test 2 installer kernel and the current development rescuecd have the problem. The original FC5 CD does not have the problem.
Hello, I'm reviewing this bug as part of the kernel bug triage project, an attempt to isolate current bugs in the Fedora kernel. http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/KernelBugTriage I am CC'ing myself to this bug, however this version of Fedora is no longer maintained. Please attempt to reproduce this bug with a current version of Fedora (presently Fedora 8). If the bug no longer exists, please close the bug or I'll do so in a few days if there is no further information lodged. Thanks for using Fedora!
