Does you BIOS support legacy keyboard emulation of your USB keyboard?



Comment 2 giovanni Bruna 2002-10-24 18:46:46 UTC
Hi,

yes, my BIOS supports legacy keyboard emulation of USB keyboard (seen during
power-up).
Just bear in mind that I have a W2k partition on same disk and it works fine as 
well as it did it with 7.1. Problems started with 7.2 7.3 and now with 8.0.

Let me know if you need more infos.
Giovanni



Comment 3 Michael Fulbright 2002-10-24 18:58:06 UTC
This would appear to be a kernel issue with USB.

Comment 4 Need Real Name 2002-11-11 14:00:29 UTC
I have the same problem with a Compaq Presario. Is this a similar bug to 75596?

Comment 5 Need Real Name 2002-11-21 08:04:15 UTC
I've got the same problem. May I hope to get a resolution soon?

In a Compaq Presario 1500 (version 1525EA) the install Red Hat Linux 8.0 
process hangs while detecting the partitions (during the kernel boot); with RH 
7.2 it installs but I can't put the display to work (although I didn't try the 
framebuffer solution...)

Comment 7 Jelle Veldman 2002-12-05 13:45:48 UTC
Accoording to an entry in another newsgroup, the problem is solved by using 
kernel 2.4.19 + a patch to 2.4.10-pre10.

Thanks for the bug report. However, Red Hat no longer maintains this version of
the product. Please upgrade to the latest version and open a new bug if the problem
persists.

The Fedora Legacy project (http://fedoralegacy.org/) maintains some older releases, 
and if you believe this bug is interesting to them, please report the problem in
the bug tracker at: http://bugzilla.fedora.us/
