    USB keyboard and bootup

    I am running Red Hat 7.2 and am using a USB keyboard it works under Linux but it dosen't respond during the bootloader.
    I have tried enabling USB Legacy support but to no effect.
    Thanks in advance.
    Yuri.

    Personally, I would get a USB>PS2 connector and be done with it. Same with the USB mouse, if you use one. I have a Logitech USB keyboard and a Microsoft USB Trackball Explorer mouse which I use with the USB>PS2 connectors. I want to insure I can use both in any situation. If and when the USB support matures enough, I might consider moving the keyboard and mouse to that interface. But until then, I'll use the PS2 interface. -mk
    If it ain't broke,
    Fix it till it is.

    Thanks for the advice, I will go and buy a adapter for the keyboard. My USB mouse works under linux so that will stay USB.
