Hi Gerhard, |
| 43 |
There's nothing wrong with your English and it's far better than my German! |

I'm not clear whether you cannot use the keyboard at all, or |
| 46 |
whether it's not there when you've finished booting? When you first |
| 47 |
start booting the AMD64 install CD there's a point where you can |
| 48 |
choose the kernel you want to boot. The options there allow you to |
| 49 |
look at hardware options. Are you saying the USB keyboard worked at |
| 50 |
this point, you could hit F1, F2, F3, etc. and it worked, but then |
| 51 |
failed to work after the kernel was done booting? |
| 52 |
|
| 53 |
I personally thought doscsi was mainly aimed at booting from scsi |
| 54 |
and USB drives and not for enabling keyboards, etc., so you might try |
| 55 |
it both ways. I see other options you might try: |
| 56 |
|
| 57 |
nolapic |
| 58 |
nosmp |
| 59 |
slowusb |
| 60 |
scandelay |
| 61 |
|
| 62 |
Unfortunately you really didn't provide the portion of your |
| 63 |
configuration that is most likely going to be the issue which is your |
| 64 |
chipset. |
| 65 |
|
| 66 |
It may be that you need a BIOS update to get full support for USB |
| 67 |
keyboards. My son has an Asus MB with an Intel Quad-Core and we never |
| 68 |
managed to install win XP with the USB keyboard. We did the install |
| 69 |
with a PS2 keyboard and then shifted over to USB when it was done. On |
| 70 |
the other hand I've got some older x86 machines that installed just |
| 71 |
fine with USB. |
