Description of problem: Dell Vostro 1710 laptop: Booting stops to ask password for encrypted hard drive (it's the default F10-partition). At this point the laptop's keyboard stops responding. When plugging in an external USB-keyboard, you get an operational keyboard (the external) and booting goes on without other problems. Rebooting the laptop gives a normal boot without laptop's keyboard problems, but booting after shutdown demands again the external keyboard. There were no such problems with Fedora 9. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Booting after shutdown 2. 3. Actual results: Dead keyboard Expected results: Working keyboard Additional info: No such problems with Fedora 9
Taht seems to be kernel problem with initialization of some devices.
Does booting with the kernel option "i8042.nomux=1" help?
Kernel option "i8042.nomux=1" does not help. I commented out "rhgb quiet" to see what happens, when booting goes on: At the booting-point Setting up disk encryption:/dev/sda2 Password: Booting stops to get the password and the keyboard is dead. But when rebooting, it goes like this: Setting up disk encryption:/dev/sda2 Password: input: PS/2 Mouse as /devices/platform/i8042/serio1/input/input6 input: AlpsPS/2 ALPS GlidePoint as /devices/platform/i8042/serio1/input/input7 Here booting stops to get the password and now the keyboard is alive, so I can give the password and the booting goes on without any trouble. If it matters: With Fedora-9 I had Seagate Momentus 7200.3 SATA -harddisk, but with the Fedora-10 I use OCZ Core Series V2 SATA II Solid State Drive. Bengt Lindholm P.S. The F10 os-installer did not install irqbalance (the cpu is an Intel Core 2 Duo CPU), I had to install it manually. The Service Configuration -application tells, that this service is enabled but stopped and I can't get it started. What to do?
I am experiencing the same thing on my Dell Vostro 1310 recently upgraded from F9. Touchpad is also dead. Reboot solves both things. Alternative approach is to plug in an external mouse and make the notebook sleep and wake up. However this kicks on only the keyboard.
I've been seeing this on my Dell Inspiron 600m since upgrading from Fedora 9. Oddly, while the applications in X don't respond to the keyboard, using the Ctrl-Alt-Backspace combination to force X to restart brings the keyboard back to life for a short while.
I've the same problem on my Dell Vostro 1510. From time to time, immediately after starting kernel, the keyboard and touchpad stop respoding. (In GRUB keyboard works.) After reboot (rarely after two) it starts working. (USB keyboard works.) Managed to reproduce on: Fedora 10, Ubuntu 8.10 (with distributional kernels).
I also have a Dell Vostro 1510. Upgraded from FC9 to FC10. The problem occurs much more frequently when I boot without the power adapter plugged in.
Created attachment 338024 [details] dmesg - first boot of the laptop this is first boot after some time the laptop had been off. Keyboard and touchpad do not work. Interesting part is around line 646.
Created attachment 338025 [details] dmesg - rebooted laptop This is dmesg of rebooted laptop. This time kernel finds the input devices and configures them correctly. Again, interesting part is around line 646.
This message is a reminder that Fedora 10 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 10. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '10'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 10's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 10 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this bug to the applicable version. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
Fedora 10 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2009-12-17. Fedora 10 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
