i am using a dell USB keyboard model RT7D50, it is an older style, have never had a problem with them regarding compatibility as a usb device.
These are those dell keyboards used everywhere.
when I boot SLES 11.4 via EFI, as a boot option where it gives you the 7 second delay I do
elilo SLES11_SP4_1 single
the server proceeds to boot up in single user mode and the console screen ends up at
hit Ctrl-D to continue or enter root password
My keyboard does not work so i can do nothing other that pull the power cord and reboot the server.
Can someone help?
Below is from /var/log/boot.omsg
part of which i see on the console screen at the end where it says enter root password but i cannot because keyboard does not work. As far as i can tell, it is recognizing a keyboard is there?
It does mention usb hub, I have tried with just keyboard and mouse plugged directly into usb port without using the hub.
The server only has 2 usb ports on the back which is why i use a little belkin 4-port hub that is powered.
The usb ports on the server are blue, so is that usb3 and could that have something to do with it?
The motherboard is a supermicro X10QRH+
