Either my hands are skewed or something is wrong with this ia64 port, or even worse. i am a debian user. hardware: zx6000, no ps/2, only usb keyboard ( this one has also 2 usb sockets, so it should also be a USB hub ) my woes: tried installing sarge: linux 2.4.21 (mckinley-smp). during the installer keyboard worked. after the installation's 1st boot - everything worked. ok.. trying to upgrade.... tried 2.6.9-2 ( mckinley-smp ) - installer worked ok. after a reboot - cannot use neither keyboard nor mouse. ok, i thought to myself. let's tune a kernel for the machine. got 2.6.10. vanilla. configured, built, rebooted: same result as with mckinley 2.6.9 at 1st i suspected it's a problem of bad usb driver taking over the hardware. so i've rebuilt the system with: a) only ehci - no success b) only uhci - no success c) both. i probably will next week recompile only with ohci support, and so on through all the combinations. i just am curious: why don't the keyboard/mouse work ? i am ready to test code, even to code the code, as soon as can locate who's responsible for the problem (which part of the kernel) i have grepped through the kernel source about zx1 ... haven't found anything interesting related to usb. well.... direct me, please. what shall i do next ?
