How do you boot? I think you will need the modules for USB keyboard support present on your initial ram disk; I think this configuration would have been part of the original install? (Vague as I have not installed for a while.)But maybe you have rebuilt the kernel with modules already included?
Have you checked the documentation which comes with SuSE8.0? I think there is guidence within about use of USB keyboards.
Here's what I did, Simon: I read the Problems with USB in suse8.0 and inserted the delay as layed out in that sdb. That wasnt enough. I switched around the uhci-ochi business untill I got the hotplug to recognize the keyboard and all other usb devices. Then I read the error messages after unplugging and plugging in the keyboard. It had some rather cryptic messages that I never did find a good explanation for. Closest I could get was that the keyboard module wasnt being loaded. Then using lsmod I determined that keybdev wasnt loaded. so I loaded that module and it started working. Tried a reboot to insure it would work without a lot of finger magic and voila, it didnt!. So I placed the load module in the /etc/init.d/boot.local and that didnt work. Then I located the /etc/hotplug/usb.rc script and inserted keybdev in the STATIC_MODULE_LIST But that did not fix the boot problem. I can unplug/replug the keyboard and it is recognized but still does not work. /var/log/message has the following messages:: g 30 19:39:26 richard /etc/hotplug/usb.agent[4858]: cannot get config descriptor: Connection timed out Aug 30 19:39:26 richard kernel: usbdevfs: USBDEVFS_CONTROL failed dev 46 rqt 128 rq 6 len 18 ret -110 Aug 30 19:39:26 richard last message repeated 49 times Aug 30 19:39:26 richard /etc/hotplug/usb.agent[4858]: cannot get config descriptor: Connection timed out Aug 30 19:39:26 richard kernel: usbdevfs: USBDEVFS_CONTROL failed dev 46 rqt 128 rq 6 len 18 ret -110 Aug 30 19:39:26 richard last message repeated 49 times Aug 30 19:39:26 richard /etc/hotplug/usb.agent[4858]: cannot get config descriptor: Connection timed out Aug 30 19:39:26 richard kernel: usbdevfs: USBDEVFS_CONTROL failed dev 46 rqt 128 rq 6 len 18 ret -110 Aug 30 19:39:26 richard kernel: VFS: Disk change detected on device sr(11,0) Aug 30 19:39:26 richard kernel: VFS: Disk change detected on device sr(11,0) Aug 30 19:39:26 richard kernel: Device not ready.

Now you may understand why I'm looking for some road map to the USB. Tnx, Richard
