"No keyboard detected" when installing SuSE9.1 with textmode=1
Hi folks, Whenever I (auto)install a Dell Optiplex GX60 using SuSE9.1 with the boot parameter 'textmode=1' the boot process stops shortly after Yast is started with the message: "starting yast... No keyboard detected. Trying to connect via serial interface /dev/ttyS0. On your terminal computer start the user interface with y2base "serial(115200):/dev/ttyS0" qt --fullscreen --noborder --auto-fonts ... " The behaviour is the same whether starting the installation process manually from cdrom or netbooting the machine using pxe. Of course, there is a keyboard connected to the machine and the boot messages show that it is detected correctly. It does not happen with SuSE 9.0. It does also not happen without textmode=1, i.e. during a normal manual installation which uses X11. It seems that yast cannot determine the keyboard and/or the console in this configuration. Does somebody know this error? I know this is a little OT, but textmode=1 is probably most often used in combination with autoinstall. Regards, Stefan Voss
