Re: [smartos-discuss] Keyboard Issues
Hi John I'd been playing with SmartOS on a couple of intel desktop boards and I had a similar issue where I'd get the SunOS message and nothing else. After a bit of head scratching I decided to hook up a serial console and voila, everything was booted and running and ready to install. The real fix for me was to install a second video adapter. Perhaps SmartOS doesn't like Intels on board devices. Strange really because the onboard device works fine in OmniOS and Openindiana.

RE: [smartos-discuss] Keyboard Issues
Wow Kev, interesting. I have pretty much given up on that particular hardware (was lab only) and successfully installed on another machine.

Re: [smartos-discuss] Keyboard Issues
There are BIOS settings for things like Legacy USB and such. The one I mentioned should be off for any OS that has a USB driver.

Also interestingly, same keyboard and same usb stick work perfectly in a different machine. I'm going to try a ps2 keyboard (when I find one at the museum).
