 Posted: Wed Feb 18, 2009 9:46 am Post subject: Keyboard not recognized at startup |
 |
|
Hi all !
I bought a shiny new geeky keyboard (Enermax Aurora Premium) yesterday, and I cannot get it to work on my machine oO
It works until grub is loaded (I can select my kernel in the grub menu).
The system starts but hangs at :
| Code: | | Wiping /tmp directory ... |
If I start with a framebuffer, I cannot switch to verbose (so I think it doesn't recognize the keyboard at the really start of the kernel).
I use a 2.6.27 gentoo-sources kernel
I know that the keyboard works well with Linux, because it worked with an Ubuntu Livecd (kernel 2.6.22).
I do not find where the problem come from...
Thanks for your help |

I've some more information about this problem.
I launched a livecd and tried to get some informations about my keyboard (as it works when using a livecd).
Here is the output of lsusb :
| Code: | Bus 004 Device 006: ID 1058:0702 Western Digital Technologies, Inc.
Bus 004 Device 005: ID 0d8c:0105 C-Media Electronics, Inc.

Bus 002 Device 001: ID 0000:0000
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 0000:0000 |
And a dmesg output (init script) :
| Code: | [ 55.560518] usb 4-4.3: new low speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 4
[ 55.656154] usb 4-4.3: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice

[ 55.958057] input: USB HID v1.00 Device [C-Media Electronics Inc. USB Multimedia Audio Device] on usb-0000:00:10.3-4.4 |
So, my keyboard has two audio port, but I didn't think there was an audio card inside (funny  .
So I recompiled my kernel to get the -Media audio device driver, and the device appeared in the kernel loading log. But it made nothing.
As the startup script hangs at "Wiping /tmp..." I put the option to wipe tmp directory to "no".
Nothing.
Looking at the startup script, it seems the problem is with udev, or udev-postmount (which is launched just after tmp directory is wiped)
Any idea with this new elements ? |

Hi,
I made some tests since my last message, as my keyboard still wasn't recognized.
I tried to get some logs from udev.
I started with a recognized keyboard. Tried to unplug this keyboard, plug the keyboard that isn't recognized, unplug it and see what happened in the udev logs.
Here is what I got : http://pastebin.com/m24de1018
Could someone interpret these logs ? I saw some lines like :
| Code: | | Mar 7 10:12:18 gondor udevd-event[5316]: match_rule: '/lib/udev/devices/hidraw0' does not exist |
Does this mean something ?
Thank you for your help  |
