Sun 30 Nov 2003 04:54:42 PM UTC, comment #14: This bug is basically the same as the bug with the id 509. So I close this bug now. If you mean that GRUB should support USB natively instead, I must say that that would not be feasible. Okuji	Yoshinori K. Okuji <okuji>
Wed 19 Nov 2003 07:22:55 PM UTC, comment #13: I tried something. On a board with Phoenix BIOS and Legacy USB support enabled, I plugged both a USB kbd and a PS/2 kbd and booted up. I pressed up and down on the USB kbd but grub didn't respond until i pressed another key on the PS/2 keyboard and i noticed that the highlighted kernel on the grub screen changed according to up/down keypresses on the USB kbd, as if the keyboard buffer was finally processed. perhaps there's something about the interrupt handling in the bios or grub?

Tue 20 May 2003 02:22:46 AM UTC, comment #12: some BIOSes have an option to enable legacy support for usb keyboards. Would this allow grub to recognize a usb keyboard. I know this post is mainly about non-legacy support but this might be a fix....	Anonymous
Sat 07 Sep 2002 08:08:57 AM UTC, comment #11: Sorry for the delay of testing. I get married and started a new job ... my apologize. Just to say that you may close the bug, the patch below worked for me : http://mail.gnu.org/pipermail/bug-grub/2002-May/007203.html Still, could you update the gentoo distribution with this patch, or should I do it for you ?

Thu 29 Aug 2002 09:25:41 PM UTC, comment #10: The A20 patch works for me, as well. We will still need to get some sort of usb support natively, though. Is is possible to fit enough usb support into grub to get keyboard support?	Anonymous
Sat 15 Jun 2002 04:17:46 AM UTC, comment #9: my bios has a dos usb function and it makes my usb keyboard to work in grub, but it also makes my usb mouse to cause an oops in the kernel so its no really useful	Anonymous
Wed 12 Jun 2002 06:32:37 PM UTC, comment #8: http://mail.gnu.org/pipermail/bug-grub/2002-May/007203.html I also have another patch. See the bug whose id is 509, for more information. If you cannot find out my patch and you are interested in it, let me know. Thanks, Okuji	Yoshinori K. Okuji <okuji>

Wed 12 Jun 2002 05:12:38 PM UTC, comment #6: Have you tested the patch? What was the result? Okuji	Yoshinori K. Okuji <okuji>
Wed 12 Jun 2002 02:50:03 PM UTC, comment #5: BIOSes that don't do A20 right appear to be real common and since many newer computers only have a USB keyboard this needs to be given the highest priority. There was a patch posted to the mailing list that dealt with the A20 and USB problem, what is the status of that patch?	Anonymous
Sun 09 Jun 2002 06:58:34 PM UTC, comment #4: Just wanted to add "me too". I am having this problem on a Abit NV7m motherboard, running the latest bios: 6Q. thanks	Anonymous
Wed 05 Jun 2002 12:25:05 AM UTC, comment #3: Here's my config: IBM Netvista (a "Tower" computer) with Phoenix BIOS 4.0 Release 6.0 for IBM Netvista. I've got an USB Keyboard connected (only, this, no other keyboard). Using LILO, i don't have the problem. I can try stuffs if you want (and if i don't completly loose my MBR ;)	Invalid User ID <#7846>
Tue 04 Jun 2002 09:39:27 PM UTC, comment #2: Yes my BIOS supports USB keyboards ! And i've checked everything in the bios (it's a pretty cool one) and everything seems to be ok... Perhaps USB support isn't simply implemented in grub ??	Invalid User ID <#7846>
Tue 04 Jun 2002 02:48:55 PM UTC, comment #1: Does your BIOS support a USB keyboard? Okuji	Yoshinori K. Okuji <okuji>
Tue 04 Jun 2002 10:21:19 AM UTC, original submission: When configuring GRUB with an USB keyboard, i'm enable to select the OS I want to boot, since the keyboard doesn't work at all. (after booting, in linux, or windows, this is ok) Lots of people seem to have this problem. I didn't found solutions on the net. Thanks by advance for your help.	Invalid User ID <#7846>
