Boot problems with keyboard

Post by girolamo » 2016/09/22 08:34:08

Hi to All,

coul Someone resolve this problem?

—If I boot centos without the keyboard, no problem, it start and it arrives to the user and password requests; but at that moment, if I try to insert the usb keyboard, it does not work.

—If I insert the keyboard before the boot, Centos does not start (only first screen: Centos...) and does not arrives to the user and password requests.

Some mounths ago, I used well the same hd in another computer. Now I am tryng to use it in a new computer.

Tanks in advance.

If this is a PS2 keyboard then make sure it's not plugged into the socket intended for the mouse.
The future appears to be RHEL or Debian. I think I'm going Debian.

CentOS 5 and 6 are deadest, do not use them.

Make sure it is plugged into a USB2 port and not a USB3 port.

Also make sure the BIOS options about USB Legacy support are enabled.

Hi Gerald_Clark,
Hi TrevorH,

tank You veru much for the intelligent and prompt answers of Yours.

It seems that the problem is in the computer. Infact with no setting it works.


It is a real pleasure to apply to this important Forum.
Tanks to Special Persons As You are.


Humbly.

Girolamo
