Subject: [classic-discuss] install with usb keyboard
Message-ID: <200607041201.39515.mikael@tinysofa.org>

Hi list,

I'm unfortunately trying to install ts-classic on a machine without ps/2 
keyboard. And it seems that the boot CD does not load the modules required.

I wonder if there is any work around for this. I haven't been working too much 
with USB until now, so I'm quite new on the subject :-)

TIA,
Mikael

Me too, never tried. I remember there is often a bios option like "usb
legacy support", I allways thought that this would emulate the ps/2
keyboard
somehow, did you try this?

This changeset which I just committed to svn might fix it. Currently I
don't have enough time to verify it.

Gerald,
There doesn't seem to be options for legacy USB support. It's a DELL PowerEdge 
SC430. I couldn't have a look at the machine myself. I tried to support 
someone else remotely by telephone :-) So maybe the option is there only they 
don't find it. I will try to find a similar machine and have a look at the 
DELL BIOS myself.

Thanks for helping!
Mikael

Jaakko,
Thanks a bunch! I guess in order to test these changes I'll have to build an 
install CD of my own from the sources, right?

Or are there easier ways?
TIA,
Mikael
