 Hi,=20

I was directed by Kris of PC-BSD to this list to report following problem.

I have a HP Pavillion m7760 2006 PC with wireless keyboard and wireless mo=
use.
They work via a receiver which is connected in the PC by USB.
The problem is both do not react when installing PC-BSD first screen.
Same for FreeBSD8, as I tried to install as well.
There is no reaction on Ctrl+alt+F1.

In the messages previous the graphical install screen I managed to read th=
e following;

USB alloc device 1586
USB alloc device 1624
device descriptor failed at addr2

later

uhub reattach port: 435: could not allocate new device.

According to Kris of PC-BSD it should be a problem wth the new USB subsyst=
em of FreeBSD8.

This is an issue that should be resolved.
I still had a PS2 keyboard, but had to buy a PS2 mouse in order to install=
.
Well, buying a PS2 mouse is becoming quite hard.
They are all USB nowadays.
Without proper USB support BSD will not survive.

Besides this, BSD is the best OS I ever used. Stable, fast...a Linux-kille=
