Thanks for the inputs. The keyboard responds in the "Welcome" screen. So I
can stop and select different booting options. But later when the kernel
boots, the usb controller driver gives an error. Here is what I saw in the
bootup messages:

...
usb1: host controller halted
uhub1: usb device problem (IOERROR), disabling port 1
...

The system is Dell Dimension 3100 with Intel Pentium4 processor.

When I googled, I found a related PR.
...
kern/100746: system does not boot due to USB keyboard problem on Dell 3100
...
That bug was related to usb panic, and it seems to have been fixed. What I
observe now is that the usb keyboard works in the boot loader, but fails to
be configured by the kernel.

Regards,
Srinivas.

I was reasonably sure I used my USB keyboard when I installed 7.0-beta2,
but just to make sure I tried it and I can confirm that the installer
recognises it. I tested it at the black and white (Beasty?) menu by
pressing space and then 1, and I could select a keyboard layout in the
sysinstall menu too. I carried on little further without problems.

Can you find another keyboard to try?

use the bios menu to set the keyboard mode to compat/ps/2 emulation
mode.

Also try unplugging & reconnecting the usb keyboard post-boot.

Is this a a Optiplex 755 or 745?

Release 7.0 Beta2

2007-12-09 Thread Srinivasa R Kanduru
Hi,

I was trying to install FreeBSD 7.0 Beta2 on a dell x86 machine which
doesn't have any PS2 ports.  The installer expects a PS2 keyboard I think.
The USB port is disabled for some reason and it is not possible to proceed
further in the installation process.

Is this a known issue ? Does the installer doesn't recognize a USB keyboard
?
