How do I configure things to allow me to use a USB keyboard to choose options in Lilo? I haven't found anything (though I am sure it is here somewhere) that explains this...

I am running 2.6 (dev-sources), with USB working fine once system has booted. But if I try and use a USB keyboard, I don't get any use from keyboard until later in boot sequence. So currently I have the USB keyboard plugged into PS/2 port via a dongle thing (and it works OK).

I have USB support, USB Human Interface Device (full HID) support HID input layer support all built into kernel. My system is an nForce based one, with OHCI USB controller (if that helps...)

Sorry if this sounds garbled - am at edge of my understanding etc...

regards

Gavin Lawrie

Check your BIOS if you have a option to enable USB at boot.
Mine is called 'USB Leagcy Support' Yours my differ.
