this is not a driver bug, then. re-assigning to kernel. does the keyboard work at the bootloader screen? if so, you can delete rhgb and quiet from the boot parameters and look at the boot messages, at least. may be something in there.

can we get lspci -nn and lsusb output, as well? (obviously, from a working situation - from the i686 live image is fine). from both you and liam.

I've installed F12 snap2 onto a Dell Mini9 and updated to latest rawhide, 

Didn't have the problem while booted from the liveCD, but since then
I have had at least two instances where on boot only my bluetooth mouse has been active as an input device, no keyboard or touchpad activity

If it happens again I'll try hot plugging a USB device ...

Comment 6 Aioanei Rares 2009-09-21 16:23:05 UTC
Couldn't this be a HAL bug somewhere?

Comment 7 Chuck Ebbert 2009-09-24 15:31:59 UTC
Are these PS/2 or USB keyboards? Smolt doesn't give that information...

Comment 8 Liam Li 2009-09-30 06:54:03 UTC
I tested with USB keyboard and mouse, did not test with ps/2,because Dell's machine has no ps/2 port, does someone else have an old machine to test?

We've had problems with USB keyboards before. Is the latest Dell BIOS installed on that machine?  When you report "can not press F2 to text mode" does that mean the keyboard doesn't even work on the GRUB boot screen?

Comment 10 Adam Williamson 2009-10-02 15:29:17 UTC
as liam seems to be the only confirmed sufferer (Andy's problem looks different), and others have tested the x86-64 live images and not seen this problem (including me), dropping from the beta blocker list unless other affected people come forward.

> Andy's problem looks different

Fair enough, it did happen again today, I plugged in a USB keyboard, that worked and allowed me to login, I have lsusb/dmesg/xorg log files from when the problem existed if they're of any interest.

Comment 12 Adam Williamson 2009-10-04 19:08:35 UTC
Please file a new bug, as it's far more likely your issue is somewhere in the bluetooth stack and hence different to this problem. Of course we'd still like to fix your problem, but it should be handled separately from this bug :)

Done thanks, I was not sure which component to initially assign it to

I'm not seeing this either on any of my systems.  Liam, do Chuck's suggestions help?  If the keyboard doesn't work during the grub screen, I suspect that might be more a BIOS configuration or BIOS version issue?

Comment 15 Liam Li 2009-10-13 11:58:05 UTC
anaconda 12.37 x86_64 still has such an issue. boot from DVD, it works on grup step,on check media
