 |
|
Hi all, I emerged the mm-2.6 kernel, but when I enable the serial info option under input devices that allows the keyboard/ps2 mouse to work, my kernel stops loading when I reboot at the line:
'mice: PS/2 driver common for all devices'
If I disable that serial info option, the kernel boots fine, but my keyboard is disabled.
What options do you use for a USB mouse?
Thanks.

It might be an ACPI problem. Try adding "pci=noacpi" to your boot options.

| I have the exact same problem with development-sources 2.6.0_beta4. Did you have any luck solving it? |

Sorry, but I have not found a solution yet.
iirc, I had ACPI disabled in the kernel.
how would I pass such an option to grub?
Do I just put it in my grub.conf?
Thanks.

Yes, just add the parameter pci=noacpi in your grub.conf on the 2.6 kernel boot option.

woohoo!
It works.
It was either that, or the fact that I diabsled EVERY single ACPI option in the kernel (I had forgotten about a submenu earlier).
*But*
Now Eterm won't run.
It says no tty filesystem.
The odd thing is, I made sure to enable Unix98 TTY under char devices, and the dev/pts filesystem under psuedo filesystems.
Xterm loads fine.
