Why my USB keyboard is not working in Chameleon 2.0 RC1 ?
« on: June 09, 2009, 08:01:26 PM »
Hi,

any idea why Chameleon is not initializing the USB Keyboard ?  I must connect a PS/2 Keyboard in order to navigate the different options.   The system on which I have the problem is a Tyan i5400XT Dual Xeon E5410 running iDeneb 10.5.6 as my main OS, but got Linux as well.

So now I am using both a USB  and an old PS/2 Keyboards to get by this little pickle!  But, what is really weird is that once I press a key (anyone) on the PS/2 keyboard, the USB keyboard becomes alive!

I have another system on which the USB works fine in Chameleon... It is a P5K-VM with Kalyway 10.5.6 (updated)

Help !  :-\

Does that happen only with Chameleon? It sounds like a BIOS bug.

sounds like it.... However, I had similar behavior while loading OSX86 before Chameleon... It was using Boot-123!   

Also, I had another case like that when I tried to install Kalyway-10.5.4 on a ASUS P5Q Pro (P45 intel-chipset).

Hope this helps!

Cheers,

ok, what I mean is, does it happen with another booter (not boot-132 based); like Windows' or grub/syslinux.. etc
Sorry, I wasn't very clear.

Try turning on legacy usb keyboard support or something like that in your bios.
