I'm trying to install the Solaris 10 DVD on an Intel P4 Box
with a USB connected mouse and keyboard.

The BIOS recognizes the keyboard and I can change settings,
I can even select Interactive Install from the Solaris menu.
But when the X screen starts the keyboard is nolonger recognized.
I can't type anything.

Is this normal?

I'm going to try the text install to see if that works.

Thank you,

Alan

Is the system in the Hardware Compatibity List (aka the "HCL") on Sun's
web site? If not, you can try Solaris Express or OpenSolaris instead.

Hi Alan,

Try to disable "Legacy USB support" in BIOS configuration.

It really works !
