Thanks for the inputs. 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.
