RE: [SLE] Need advice on USB keyboard problem
FWIW: 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.

You can find the information that use to be in /etc/rc.config in /etc/sysconfig now. It's all broken down into separate files now..ala RH.
Yes, I enabled the bios. I found much of the info in files in /etc/sysconfig but never did find the equivalent of USB_DRIVERS= as found in old rc.config. Even more importantly, where can one find a doc that gives an overview of the suse USB process? I can see the Hotplug is now an important part of the process but how does it fit in? It may appear that such questions are asked by the lazy but I assure you I have spent many hours pouring over the various files and The info is so discombobulated that after awhile, the brain gets numb. Something like a map or flow chart of the usb process would give many of us some directions and lessen seemingly petty & dumb questions. I would be happy to draw the map but right now I'm to damned dumb to figure out where the chicken and the egg are in relation to one another. Thanks for helping me.

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
