Dell OptiPlex 745 - no PS/2 connectors. USB keyboard works on boot menu but during kernel initialization I see = this: usb1: host controller halted uhub1: device problem (IOERROR), disabling port 2 Keyboard is non-working when SYSINSTALL starts. Upgraded to latest BIOS and error disappears but keyboard is still non-working in SYSINSTALL. I've tried both front and rear USB ports. I've googled extensively but can't find any workaround or trick to make this work. Solution seems to be 8.0-CURRENT or am I missing something vital here? I was hoping for some command to issue at the boot prompt... Regards Morgan Have you made sure you have USB keyboard support enabled in the bios and = you may also need to enable USB legacy support.
