My googling turned up a couple references to that as well, but I hadn't |
| 13 |
figured out it was a kernel option, and I have legacy USB handling turned |
| 14 |
off in BIOS, so it shouldn't affect. However, it's worth a try! |
| 15 |

Thanks! |

Nothing concrete on the googling. It seems everybody else had issues with |
| 19 |
.15, which worked for me. However, a couple kernel boot options to try, |
| 20 |
now that you got me looking at it, and I'll recheck my BIOS while I'm |
| 21 |
there, and try toggling USB-legacy back on, for good measure (assuming it |
| 22 |
didn't somehow change behind my back, but I haven't had that sort of issue |
| 23 |
since I left MSWormOS behind). |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
After that, I'll try -rc1 again, and then start going thru the daily |
| 26 |
snapshots. If I can verify where it went from working with .15 to not |
| 27 |
working with .16-rc2, it should be fairly easy to nail the problem. |
| 28 |
|

However, time I really should be sleeping now, as I work 2nite, so that'll |
| 30 |
all have to wait, unfortunately... Maybe I'll be lucky and have an an |
| 31 |
answer ready when I wake. Sometimes, sleeping on it helps, and I have a |
| 32 |
new idea to try when I wake up that "magically" works. |
| 33 |
|
| 34 |
It was no big deal when rc1 didn't work. It often enough happens that a |
| 35 |
single rc won't work, but two in a row is getting distressing enough that |
| 36 |
I want to find and report the problem before it goes stable and hurts |
| 37 |
others, since it's rare that it hasn't been fixed by second rc in a row, |
| 38 |
especially when it's a totally dead keyboard -- kinda hard to ignore that! |
| 39 |
|
| 40 |
Then again, since I don't quite remember what the blocker was on rc1 and I |
| 41 |
haven't tried it yet, I can't say for sure that wasn't a different |
| 42 |
blocker. I'll find out soon enough, I guess. |
