problem booting because of keyboard
hello,
I recently copied the last stable release, 2.2.r5 and tried to install it,
but have a problem with the keyboard.
my machine is a recent PC (Packard Bell), with a somewhat weird Packard Bell
keyboard (french AZERTY).
trying the setup, I can get to the first page, and use the keyboard,
including F1, ... and enter. I then get the boot bessages, including
TIMEOUT - AT keyboard not present ?
(twice)
with a screen waiting to press Continue, which I can't do because the kbd is
no longer recognized here.
I had a look at the faqs, in
http://www.debian.org/releases/woody/i386/install.en.txt (that is the next
release) I find the section 3.6.3.4. USB keyboards
which explains a bit about the problem, but can't help me.
in my BIOS, I find
USB controller: All USB
USB Device Legacy support: All Device (alternatives are none or no-mice).
that would seem to be ok then
question: is this new section in the woody install pages good also for
2.2r5? if so, what is my problem?
any Ideas as to how I can get around it? some magic parameter to pass to
boot?
