SuSE Linux: Version 7.3
Kernel: Version 2.4.10
You have a USB keyboard, a USB mouse, or both, which worked perfectly during the installation. However, they no longer work once the installation has been completed.
The cause is the double entry of the USB modules that have to be downloaded.
Enter the following command
cat /etc/modules.conf |grep "usb-hostadapter" Note: | = pipe is generated with AltGr + <
to check if the entries:
alias usb-hostadapter usb-uhci
or
alias usb-hostadapter usb-ohci
are included in the file /etc/modules.conf. If yes, please perform the following modifications with YaST2:
Select in the menu --> System -> RC.Config-Editor -> Base-Administration -> Common-Basics -> initrd_modules
and remove the modules listed below:
usbcore usb-uhci (usb-ohci) input hid keyboard mousedev
Alternatively, you can do it manually by opening the file /etc/rc.config with an editor of your choice and searching for the section:
You can, for example, change the line from
INITRD_MODULES="reiserfs usbcore usb-uhci input hid keybdev mousedev"
to
INITRD_MODULES="reiserfs"
Now save the file. In both cases the following commands must be executed as root user in a terminal or shell:
mk_initrd /sbin/lilo
After restarting the system, all USB devices should work again.
If editing is not possible because your keyboard does not work, please use the first CD to start the system with the option "Boot from an installed system".
