>Number: 72923 >Category: misc >Synopsis: installer crashing/no keybaord detected >Confidential: no >Severity: non-critical >Priority: medium >Responsible: freebsd-bugs >State: open >Quarter: >Keywords: >Date-Required: >Class: sw-bug >Submitter-Id: current-users >Arrival-Date: Wed Oct 20 12:30:25 GMT 2004 >Closed-Date: >Last-Modified: >Originator: Peter Cahill >Release: FreeBSD 5.3 BETA 7 >Organization: UCD >Environment: Unavailable (installer crashing), booting off the 5.3BETA7 i386 iso on the ftp site. >Description: the sysinstall script is either crashing or just not responding to the keyboard at all. I cant switch terminals, and no keys have any effect. Im guessing that its a keyboard error rather than an actual error with sysinstall. I have seen similar reports on the web with keybaord errors in 5.3CURRENT, I presume this is similar, appart from the other errors I saw were when people tried to use two keyboards. If you need anymore details just let me know. >How-To-Repeat: Have 1 USB keyboard (1 usb mouse also), no PS/2 keybd or mouse. Boot the 5.3Beta7 i386 cd. When the installer appears, the keyboard does not respond. its impossible to get a dmesg or anything as I cant switch terminals or use the keyboard at all. >Fix: I got around it by booting 5.2RELEASE, and then installing from the 5.3 CD. After booting the 5.3 kernel the system works grand. >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
