| |
on to the next issue. the setup: dell inspiron 8100 laptop RH 9 2.5.66-bk12
for ergonomic reasons, rather than use the laptop keyboard and touchpad, i have (under the previous RH 8 and 2.4.20) been using an external PS/2 keyboard and logitech USB optical mouse. this setup has been working fine -- when both external input devices are connected, i can use either keyboard, and just the optical USB mouse.
booting under 2.5.66-bk12, if just the keyboard is connected, no problem. the boot works, both keyboards are active, and the touchpad works.
however, if i connect *only* the optical mouse, the boot gets to "Freeing unused kernel memory", hangs for about a minute, then powers down the box. not good. (same thing happens if both external keyboard and mouse are connected, so i've isolated it to just the optical mouse).
thoughts?
