USB Keyboard not recognized installation

[Jim Cripe]

At the "boot" prompt, I could not continue. The USB keyboard was not
recognized. When I used a wired keyboard, I was able to start the installation.

This problem was encountered with both the live CD and the regular CD at the
first input prompt.

The keyboard is from Compaq, Model SDM4540UL. The USB information identified by
Ubuntu in the device manager has product "Internet Keyboard", product_id 14

The USB controller identified by Ubuntu is "VIA Technologies, Inc. VT82xxxxx
UHCI USB 1.1 Controller", product_id 12344.

The system has an AMD Duron 800Mhz processor and a GA-72MM, rev 1.2 motherboard.

I have the same problem on my ABIT A7 (with no-legacy ports) MoBo. Exists in Warty and Hoary.

I have an el Cheapo Wireless Keayboard attached through a PS/2-USB adapter to the Machine.

In BIOS it's OK.
In the bootloader of the Installer/LiveCD it's OK.
It stops working when I get to the installer.

I will test next week if it's still an issue in Drake Flight3.

I have installed Drapper and the bug did not show up during the install process. :-)

Marking as fix commited per the last bug comment.

I downloaded ubuntu-5.10-live-i386.iso yesterday and tried to run the live cd on my desktop but it does hang at the installer and it don't recognize the usb keyboard.

Sorry I'm pretty new under linux but consider seriously leaving window behind. I don't get what is that Drake flight3 thing you talk about in a previous post.

Many thanks

I had the same problem today (usb keyboard not recognized during boot) with 6.10. The keyboard is fine once everything boots up, but I have to wait for the boot selector to time out.
