I'm putting together a new computer from parts, one of which is a gyration wireless keyboard that interfaces with the computer via USB. The motherboard is an asus a7n8x deluxe, and I'm using the onboard ports. I've installed Debian's Stable distribution (Woody) and I believe I'm current with all of those packages.
For reference, I have two kernels on the machine in question, 2.4.21 and 2.5.75, and the usb keyboard works with the 2.4.21 kernel, so I'm pretty sure I have a working keyboard/usb system hardware wise.
The trouble starts when I boot with the 2.5.75 kernel. The boot process looks normal (to me) and I end up with a login prompt, but without use of the keyboard. It's as if the keyboard's not attached. I've tried scouring goggle, the news groups, and this mailing list's archives, but I've yet to see someone else reporting a similar problem.
Even though I have no effective console access, I am able to access the machine remotely via SSH, so I can check the logs, but I've seen no obvious errors/messages to point me towards the source of the trouble.
I'm not quite sure what's relevant in troubleshooting this, so I'm including the most usual suspects below, but Ill be more than happy to provide whatever other information that would be helpful.
This is my first time using usb as my keyboard/mouse, so please bare with me as I come up to speed.
Thanks,
- Jeff
