Hi all, Having "googled" for my problem, the only thread I can find is this one which doesn't appear to have a solution:-
http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-hackers/2005-April/011579.html I recently got two Dell Poweredge servers. A 1425 and a 2850. I installed 6.0-RELEASE onto both. With the 1425 I have no problem, but with the 2850 the keyboard fails to work at all. Some details; The keyboard is plugged into the standard "purple" kb input. It works fine when setting up bios options, perc4 controller set-up, etc. The keyboard works fine also if I boot into single user mode. However, if I do a normal boot into multi-user mode (the keyboard works fine when selecting a boot option) then when I get to the login prompt, no keyboard input at all. I tried a USB keyboard also. Same result, works ok for bios setting and single user mode but just doesn't work in multi-user mode. Oddly, the Dell USB kb I have also has a USB optical mouse connected to the keybd. When I plug in, I see the kernel messages popup on the console telling me a kb and mouse have been connected. The mouse works fine (pointer appears and can be moved and selection made) but the keyboard stubbornly refuses to do anything. Any ideas anyone? (I saw a thread somewhere that upgrading the kernel and world fixed it, however, I've cvsuped to 6-STABLE, new world and kernel and the problem still there. It's a dual processor system but same problem with GENERIC and a custom kernel. regards Andy _______________________________________________ freebsd-hackers@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-hackers To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
