*** Please type your report below this line *** -- Package-specific info: Boot method: CD Image version: http://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/etch_di_beta2/i386/iso-cd/debian-testing-i386-netinst.iso 3/14/2006 release beta etch Date: <Date and time of the install> Machine: amd 2400+ dual processors on Gigabyte GA-7DPXDW-P motherboard. M$ft internet keyboard, or generic keyboard (non M$ft). tried both M$ft intellimouse or M$ft wheel mouse optical Partitions: <df -Tl will do; the raw partition table is preferred> did not get to partitions. could not use keyboard or mouse! Base System Installation Checklist: [O] = OK, [E] = Error (please elaborate below), [ ] = didn't try it Initial boot: [E ] Detect network card: [ ] Configure network: [ ] Detect CD: [ ] Load installer modules: [ ] Detect hard drives: [ ] Partition hard drives: [ ] Create file systems: [ ] Mount partitions: [ ] Install base system: [ ] Install boot loader: [ ] Installed system ok: [ ] Comments/Problems: <Description of the install, in prose, and any thoughts, comments and ideas you had during the initial install.> I downloaded fresh etch beta install disk 3/15. checked md5sum. burned. checked md5sum on burned copy by dd if=/dev/hdc bs=$blocksize count=$count conv=notrunc,noerror |md5sum a la url "coasterless cd burning with linux". I booted into install. hit enter at prompt. it asked me for language. I hit enter and no response. System does not recognize keyboard after boot into installer. I think there is something wrong with debian kernel 2.6.15. Why? I have same trouble with this sytem when upgrading a fresh sarge install to linux-image-2.6.15-1-k7-smp. I get frozen console with no keyboard or mouse activity. I can only ssh into the system. When i do dmesg |grep input I see only speaker and no keyboard or mouse listed. Thus on this system I get failure of recognition of keyboard or mouse by debian linux-image 2.6.15. More detail: I just did a fresh sarge install, desktop packages selected. I upgrade to sid. (apt-get update ;apt-get dist-upgrade) with 2.6.8-2 kernel system works fine. (i dont bother to configure Xorg at this point, i use console and disable gdm) I then try to apt-get install linux-image-2.6.15-1-k7-smp (same problem with install of -k7 or -1-486 2.6.15 kernels too). The new kernel is installed, and then when i reboot - no response to keyboard or mouse. I can ssh into system and it works fine. I do dmesg|grep input iput: PC Speaker as /class/input/input0 cat /proc/bus/input/devices I: Bus=0010 Vendor=001f Product=0001 Version=0100 N: Name="PC Speaker" P: Phys=isa0061/input0 S: Sysfs=/class/input/input0 H: Handlers=kbd event0 B: EV=40001 B: SND=6 no keyboard or mouse I now have same problem with new etch installer! ????It is a problem with the new debian kernel or with udev.
