Maybe your hardware needs a different kernel module, than those which are already loaded. You can add the kernel module to the script class/20hwdetect.source. This is some detail of this script. kernelmodules=rtc floppy usbkbd ide-disk ide-cd case $(uname -r) in 2.4*) kernelmodules=$kernelmodules keybdev mousedev hid ide-detect isa-pnp ;; 2.6*) kernelmodules=$kernelmodules ehci-hcd ohci-hcd uhci-hcd usbhid usbmouse ide-generic mptspi ata_piix ;; esac -- regards Thomas

I've never been able to use USB keyboards during an FAI installation. I've had the same experience installing Dell Optiplex GX280 desktops with FAI 2.10.1ubuntu1 (comes with Dapper). I found that if you unplug the USB keyboard during boot, and plug it back in afterwards it is usable.. Then I switched to FAI 3.1ubuntu1 (Edgy) and never had the problem again, so I did not look into it any further. Cheers, Emil Gorter
Re: USB keyboard with ubuntu fai
Please reply with a dmesg so I can see what sort of hardware is detected by the FAI kernel. Thanks! --zach On Jan 16, 2007, at 10:24 PM, Carl Caum wrote: Hello all.

I've never cared because I could easily plug in a PS/2 keyboard. However the new Dell's do not have PS/2 ports on them and I suddenly am in need of figuring out why USB keyboards don't work. I'm running fai-server version 2.10.5 with 2.6.15.6-ubuntu1-fai-kernels_1_i386 for running install kernel.
