Wanting to try Gentoo but the mouse isn't working... (and I suspect my dongle)
Starting up the 10.0 live DVD shuts off my USB mouse right after the video display has been set: to put that within the dmesg timeline, somewhere beween/at these outputs:
| Code: | ..MP-BIOS bug: 8254 timer not connected to IO-APIC
...trying to set up timer (IRQ0) through the 8259A ...
..... (found apic 0 pin 0) ...
....... works.
CPU0: Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 2.40GHz stepping 09
Brought up 1 CPUs
Total of 1 processors activated (4783.92 BogoMIPS).
CPU0 attaching NULL sched-domain.
net_namespace: 728 bytes
NET: Registered protocol family 16
EISA bus registered
ACPI: bus type pci registered
dca service started, version 1.8 |
I had tried booting with the noapic option to kill off the 8254 bug, but this only shuts off my keyboard too... plus it resolves itself.
If I boot into the cli I can see that neither my USB mouse or dongle are listed (lsusb), and that the modules I expect to see for them - rt73usb and usbhid respectively - are absent with lsmod.
Later into the output I get two more lines of interesting output:
| Code: |
HDIO-SET-DMA failed: input/ouput error
input: Macintosh mouse button emulation as /devices/virtual/input/input0 |
Spent a good few hours on this now, so help welcomed. |
