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.
