On a fresh install on older dell P4, I've been unable to get the usb |
| 2 |
keyboard to respond. |
| 3 |
|
| 4 |
It responds at the grub screen, but once past there... no response |
| 5 |
|
| 6 |
I am running thru a kvm switch, but don't really have the option |
| 7 |
without a fair bit of juggling to try it with everything hooked |
| 8 |
direct. I have tried plugging a keyboard direct, with no result. |

One other time, long ago, I hit this same problem and it turned out to |
| 11 |
be a bios setting. I don't recall what it was now, but did find some |
| 12 |
info in a KVM manual that says the two items below might need setting: |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
Set HALT ON ERROR to ALL BUT KEYBOARD. |
| 15 |
In PNP AND PCI SETUP, set PNP OS INSTALLED to YES and set |
| 16 |
USB IRQ to ENABLED. |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
My bios do not show anything that seems to be similar or even related, |
| 19 |
other than a setting to have keyboard errors reported or not... and I |
| 20 |
tried that both ways. |

This is a Dell system SX280 and says it is bios revision A08. I've |
| 23 |
not seen this particular setup before and it looks unusual to me. |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
It has headings for: |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
System |
| 28 |
Drivers |
| 29 |
Onboard Devices |
| 30 |
Video |
| 31 |
Performance |
| 32 |
Security |
| 33 |
Power Management |
| 34 |
Maintenance |
| 35 |
Post Behavior |
| 36 |
|
| 37 |
|
| 38 |
And a list of things under each. I'm not going to try to snarfle all |
| 39 |
that by hand unless it seems likely to be helpful. But I can say that |
| 40 |
after a thorough look at them all, I didn't see anything that seemed |
| 41 |
to be related. |
| 42 |
|
| 43 |
Anyone have ideas on this? |
