The keyboard responds in the "Welcome" screen. So I can stop and select different booting options. But later when the kernel boots, the usb controller driver gives an error. Here is what I saw in the bootup messages: ... usb1: host controller halted uhub1: usb device problem (IOERROR), disabling port 1 ... The system is Dell Dimension 3100 with Intel Pentium4 processor. When I googled, I found a related PR. ... kern/100746: system does not boot due to USB keyboard problem on Dell 3100 ... That bug was related to usb panic, and it seems to have been fixed. What I observe now is that the usb keyboard works in the boot loader, but fails to be configured by the kernel. Regards, Srinivas.
