Keywords: 386bsd DOS5.0 keyboard error Sender: news@sys.uea.ac.uk Organization: University of East Anglia Date: Fri, 14 May 1993 18:10:00 GMT Lines: 21 Hello everyone, I have this rather annoying problem. As the heading says bsd is telling me on boot up that the keyboard is disconnected, but it is definately there. I have a 200 Mb hard drive partitioned into 100 Meg Dos 5.0 and 100 Meg 386bsd. POST and dos have no problems with the keyboard, everything works fine, but the last time I booted into bsd I got this strange error. I thought it might be a corrupt kernel, or other file so I tried the dist and fix-it disks but they both gave the same problem. The keyboard is a 102 key UK keyboard (so I was doing some mental key remapping to use it) and the motherboard is a 386sx-33, straight from Tywan (Partner, I think) but since it used to work I don't think it it a physical conflict. My current worry is that one or other is having problems and bsd is fickle enough to pick them up early. Any advice of suggestions would be greatly appreciated. sjh@sys.uea.ac.uk
