>Number: 19063 >Category: kern >Synopsis: VGA keyboard sometimes fails to work in boot loader >Confidential: no >Severity: non-critical >Priority: medium >Responsible: freebsd-bugs >State: open >Quarter: >Keywords: >Date-Required: >Class: sw-bug >Submitter-Id: current-users >Arrival-Date: Tue Jun 06 09:30:01 PDT 2000 >Closed-Date: >Last-Modified: >Originator: Joe Greco >Release: FreeBSD 3.4-STABLE i386 >Organization: sol.net Network Services >Environment: Apparently any machine that has "-D -h" in /boot.config to use serial consoles. Noted across many 3.x FreeBSD variants. >Description: We use serial consoles for most stuff, configured with "-D -h" in /boot.config. Sometimes, however, we use a VGA console and we type a "space" right after seeing the "Boot: -D -h", and we put in "-h" at the prompt to force VGA. After we do this, sometimes the keyboard is nonresponsive in the next stage boot loader (i.e. counting down to zero, where you would hit a key and then "-s" to go to single user). >How-To-Repeat: See above >Fix: >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-bugs" in the body of the message
