The problem did not occur again yesterday in the few hours I used the computer. I think you found the problem. I read that turning off legacy support makes a USB keyboard not work in grub. I don't have a usb keyboard now, but I may switch at some point. Is there any truth to this?
Unfortunately it is - the USB legacy setting allows BIOS to handle the USB devices before they are claimed by the operating system. Seems that your BIOS is broken. In an ideal (and usual) situation, it happens that as soon as Linux probes for the USB devices (early during the boot process), BIOS completely releases the control of them (when the Legacy support is turned on). Which probably doesn't happen fully on your hardware, and BIOS at some point confuses the ohci driver. Is there any chance that there is BIOS upgrade for your machine you could test? -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.
