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!
