I have identical problem and haven't found a solution yet. Take a look here http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=71443 Looks like so many people have problem with USB keyboard. My ps2 is broken and that is the only option I have -----Original Message----- From: owner-freebsd-questions@freebsd.org [mailto:owner-freebsd-questions@freebsd.org] On Behalf Of eodyna Sent: November 7, 2004 8:18 PM To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Subject: 5.3RC2 and usb keyboards install problems Hi there, Work recently purchased a Dell gx280. I orignally installed 5.2.1 and had problems with drivers. It was kindly mentioned that i should install 5.3 to help with these problems. I was also informed about problems with usb keyboards on boot/startup. Ive tried to have a look on google and couldn't come up with any solutions. I have tried to install 5.3 (from cd) however, sysinstall doesn't respond at all, on any of the options i choose to boot from. The BIOS doesn't have an option for keyboard for me to make changes. dmesg output before the sysinstall screen says "atkdb0 [GIANT-LOCKED]". I dont know how to set " set hint.atkbd.0.flags="0x1"" if i cant access the keyboard, and the OS isn't installed for me to make any changes. apologies for my ignorance and confusion. if someone can point me in the right direction and or help me, id be very grateful. thank-you in advance. ams --------------------------------- Find local movie times and trailers on Yahoo!
