Re: [Linux-ia64] USB Support

["Eric Wang" <ericwang25@hotmail.com>]

During the machine boot up period, the USB keyboard could not work, so you 
should connect both PS/2 and USB Mouse and Keyboard on the machine. After 
boot up, install TurboLinux build 5.5 (May 5?), it will install the USB 
keyboard driver. After the installation, start the Turbolinux OS, startx, 
you will see the USB keyboard is active. But the USB mouse could not work.
