1. No USB keyboard support on Dell Optiplex GX280. (SOLVED)
+
 
+
Some hardware details:
+
* USB Keyboard: Happens to be a Danish keyboard, shouldn't matter.
+
  * SUSE identifies the keyboard as "Dell USB Keyboard Hub" and uses the hid driver
+
* USB Mouse
+
* Pentium 4
+
* SATA hard drive
+
 
+
symptoms:
+
* Keyboard works at the "KNOPPIX: " boot prompt, anything after that it doesn't
+
* above the "Welcome to KNOPPIX... (etc)" white text line, you have:
+
    1. image of tux
+
    2. audit(somenumber.???:?)
+
    3. ata2: disabling port
+
  it's that 3rd line that perplexes me.
+
* Hangs 30 seconds into booting, immediately after message: "2.78 Knoppix booting"
+
* It seems it never detects anything USB (though the USB mouse kinda works later...)
+
* booting "debug" asks to type exit to continue... nothing responds on the keyboard
+
* booting "failsafe" makes it all the way to KDE where the mouse (mostly) works, but the keyboard does not.
+
* booting "expert" fails when it needs KB input to select SCSI drivers.
+
* booting the {nousb|nousb2|lang=da} all fail.
+
* booting "knoppix testcd" fails similarly
+
* booting "failsafe testcd" tests the CD and makes it into KDE as prev. mentioned
+
 
+
ideas:
+
* ?? I've tried a lot of tweaking and some searching, anyone experiencing similar issues?
+
* Is anyone having success with 3.8.1 and a new Dell?
+
 
+
solution: booted with "knoppix acpi=off" and all was well. Apparently this Dell gx280 uses a 'difficult' power management ... chipset (likely the wrong word.)
+
 
+
suggestion: list acpi=off in the F3 list of boot parameters, it's more pertinent than some of the others that made the list.
+

+
Damn you beat me on the first one ;-)
+
 
+
With knoppix 3.8.1 (english) on an IBM x335 machine and console attached via a console chain cable the keyboard becomes inoperative after Knoppix has booted. After the CPU tuxes the following lines are written to the console:
+
 
+
i8042: Can't read CTR while initiating i8042
+
ide2: I/O resource 0x1E8-0x1EF not free
+
ide2: ports already in use, skipping probe
+
 
+
This did not happen with Knoppix 3.4 (english). Just to let you know. For further information please write: jvwCHANGETHISTOATSIGNiwr.fzk.de
+
 
+
 
+
 
+
3. Typo
+
 
+
If you open K Menu -> KNOPPIX -> Utilities you will see "Chose/Restart KNOPPIX Desktop." That should read "Choose/Restart KNOPPIX Desktop." Just a small typo, but it seems to have escaped the developer's watch in the last few releases.
+
 
+
4. USB2.0 Storage device slow speed
+
 
+
[CLH]
+
USB2.0 external hard disk is auto-mounted as ub device, which is using USB 1 transfer speed, far slower than using sd_mod.
+
for example, trying to mount /dev/sda1 gives error because
+
module sd_mod is not available (modprobe sd_mod gives error)
+
should recompile kernel with scsi module (sd_mod) support.
+
Also check out the usbmount
+
http://usbmount.alioth.debian.org/ which automount external USB storage devices , I tried Ubuntu liveCD and it worked well at USB2 speed.
+
 
+
5. Keyboard not working after loading
+
 
+
Hardware Details:
+
*Dell Latitude D610
+
Error Messages:
+
*i8042: Can't read CTR while initiating i8042
+
*ide2: I/O resource 0x1E8-0x1EF not free
+
*ide2: ports already in use, skipping probe
+
After that point it seems the keyboard is non-functional.  Touchpad/eraser are not functional either.  Doing a "shutdown" will get to the point of "eject CD and hit return" keyboard still not functional.
+
Worked fine in English V 3.6.  USB Mouse works.
+
 
+
have you tried the acpi=off boot parameter? our machines may share a similar (Dell) issue.
+
 
+
6. Can't find KNOPPIX filesystem. sorry.
+
 
+
Hardware:
+
*Sony Vaio N505SN laptop
+
*PCMCIA CD drive
+
 
+
Boots fine, starts searching for hardware:
+
*Scanning for USB/Firewire devices...Done
+
*Enabling DMA acceleration for: hda
+
 
+
Then fails with "Can't find KNOPPIX filesystem. sorry.", and drops into a mini-shell
