[Linux-ia64] McKinley keyboard problems.

[Steffen Persvold]

Hi all,

We just got two HP McKinley systems in our lab, but I'm not able to
install them with RH 7.2 (kernel-2.4.9-18) because they only got USB
keyboard/mouse. When the kernel boots it complains about
"keyboard jammed" and when the RH installer finally starts the keyboard
is "dead". Any ideas ? Is this fixed with newer kernels ?

Thanks,

Steffen,

    David's latest 2.4.18 patch set is getting pretty close to fully
functional on the zx1 chipset.  The install kernel from RH is not
going to work since it depends on some legacy I/O features in the Intel
chipsets.  I'd suggest trying Debian.  The latest Debian kernel has the
patch set necessary for this chipset (and it's free!).
