 AMD64 2.6 weirdness I testing out the LiveCD for AMD64 (2.6 final) and I get odd behaviour after I get the prompt. The first few keystrokes I hit generate some oddball error about the keyboard. No other AMD64 distro I've tried (Fedora, SuSE, & Mandrake) has this issue. My keyboard is an MS Wireless Optical Desktop Pro w/mouse. Any clues? Carlos M. Echenique Got and Opteron or Athlon64? Surf over to www.planetamd64.com , the unofficial home of AMD64 technology, for news, reviews and discussions.      |

| Re: AMD64 2.6 weirdness Teh system boots normally (except it doesn't recognize my video card). When the prompt gets to "cdimage #" I go to type anything and I get the following message: atkbd.c: unknown key released (translated set 2, code 0x81, on isa0060/serio 0) I repeat: "any clues?"

Heres a no brainer for you: Your keyboard isn't supported by default on the LiveCD. Think of it like a copy of Knoppix, they install the most common devices and pray things will work enough so you can get things started. Get a standard ps/2 keyboard, install Gentoo, configure it for your wireless, and swap them, its as simple as that. -- Shan Destromp --- Sent: Wed, Jan 14, 2004 @ 00.05.04 EST ---- OS: GNU/Linux 2.4.22-gentoo-r4 Processor: AuthenticAMD i686 |

| Re: AMD64 2.6 weirdness I hope someone has logged this with bugzilla. While not a show-stopper, it is embarassing to get hung up on something even the BIOS can handle. I would really understand if I had a Bluetooth desktop set, BIOS can't recognize for shitake mushrooms, but wireless keyboards (this one especially) just plugs into the ps/2 port and looks like any other ps/2 keyboard.
