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.

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....

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?

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,

Have you tested the patch? What was the result?

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?

Just wanted to add "me too". I am having this problem on a Abit NV7m motherboard, running the latest bios: 6Q.

thanks

Does your BIOS support a USB keyboard?
