Hello, all -- I have one more question and as usual, would be very grateful for any help.
I am currently using kernel 2.2.14 because I can't load up anything newer. The 2.4.x kernels give me an error message on load "AT keyboard not present" and, of course, I then can't use my keyboard. I checked the list archives for this and did find it (once) but the question was left somewhat unresolved because the person decided to go a different route. I did try the suggestions I saw -- changing the BIOS and/or the keyboard. I don't have the option listed for changing my USB settings in BIOS, it is set to AUTO. My keyboard is not a USB, although it does have USB ports on it and seems to be operational even if the P/S2 connector is not connected but the USB is. It is a Microsoft Natural. Just in case, I did try a plain keyboard with no success. This, and a few other posts I saw in the archives, makes me wonder if this is related to my motherboard. My motherboard is an ASUS A7A266. I did try compiling kernel 2.4.5 with USB support and keyboard support to no avail. Thanks, as always, in advance, Jean Abercrombie
