Usb keyboard unavailable during boot until all usb devices are initialised (solutions?) [solved]
Usb keyboard unavailable during boot until all usb devices are initialised (solutions?) [solved]
Without other usb devices the keyboard works immediately. With them it takes 5 ish seconds for it to start responding. This is regardless of which device is discovered first (which I can manipulate), it seems to just wait for all of them. Is there a way to make it not do that?
Edit: This is specifically about linux boot. It otherwise works fine in bios / bootloader
You're viewing a single thread.
I had a motherboard like this: the USB ports didn't work until it booted into an OS. You had to connect a PS2 to make changes in the BIOS, and could only boot from IDE. It was super-annoying.
Yep if the MB has a PS/2 slot this is the solution.
You can also get a usb to PS/2 converter so you don't need an extra keyboard.
