I also have this problem with a PS/2 keyboard running on a VIA chipset motherboard.
The keyboard does not work: * when booting into "Recovery mode" (runlevel 1). The keyboard does work: * in the BIOS Setup; * in GRUB; * when booting into full graphical mode (runlevel 2); * after switching from full graphical mode into single user mode (sudo init 1); * in any mode using Knoppix 5.1.1, openSUSE 10.2, and Fedora 7. The keyboard previously worked correctly in: * Ubuntu 6.06; * Ubuntu 6.10. The keyboard worked sometimes under previous Ubuntu 7.04 kernel revisions if the Num Lock key was pressed immediately after the boot process switched off the Num Lock light. Changing the Num Lock setting in the BIOS has no effect on the problem. For reference, my specific keyboard is a Unicomp Customizer (formerly Lexmark, formerly IBM), and can be found at http://www.pckeyboard.com/ . Other helpful output is attached. ** Attachment added: "uname -a, /proc/version_signature, dmesg, and lspci -vvnn output" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/8337379/117899-bugreport.tar.gz -- ps2 keyboard does not work on VIA chipset mainboard https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/117899 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
