| Post subject: | [FIXED] Custom Debian Squeeze - Lost Keyboard |
I got some problem with a multistrap debian squeeze. All works fine, except gdm which do not start at boot. Any advice will be welcome. I cannot get terminal access other than serial ! What is the correct bootargs for console ? thanks, Update : I have get the terminal console on the smartbook but no more keyboard ! :( Update #2 : Console and boot was fixed with update-initramfs -u and udev tweaks. but I still have no mouse nor keyboard in Xorg (gdm) session login ! Update #3 : Sometimes I lost my keyboard in terminal console, hard to find what is resolving this issue ! |

According Debian Wiki [1] I have my keyboard again, in terminal, with : Quote: If the configuration above was not set to include most modules then the necessary modules have to be specified in the file /etc/initramfs-tools/modules:
Code: # USB keyboard at boot
usbcore uhci_hcd ehci_hcd usbhid Quote: Apply changes.
Code: # update-initramfs -u
Now the problem is my initrd which is not found.May be the sd/mmc driver ? What are the needed driver for initrd / modules generated in cross chroot ? [1] http://wiki.debian.org/Keyboard |

all is fine now, except that gdm has no keyboard, and no mouse... lost front of login session ! Update #1 : /etc/init/udev had to be modified to be loaded ! I have misunderstood the post about keyboard and udev... Now all is working. |

I had this problem and the above mentioned fix didn't work for me; and in fact added to the confusion. I did find an alternative solution for ordinary installations: In System->Preferences->Startup applications Check that udev is _not_ checked. This is what killed off the USB going into gdm. It caused a premature invocation of udevd so that the later attempt to invoke it, when more things were set up, was blocked because it was already running. From my experience I think that putting the udev selection in the "preferences" is silly; in hindsight hilarious :) or (: . I suppose other installations might need it; but in my case it seemed like a good/harmless thing to check and didn't reboot for hours afterwords so I didn't realize the damage. Ray :D :D :( |

I do not say that it *has* to be loaded in gdm !lost front of login session ! Update #1 : /etc/init/udev had to be modified to be loaded ! I have misunderstood the post about keyboard and udev... Now all is working. I just said that it need to be modified (inside the code) to load with the actual linux kernel ! |

I just wanted to chime in here, and note that a lot of these things are coded into markos's armhf installer shell script. so if you want a good example to look at and see what, if any tweaks need to be made beyond a debootstrap go ahead and check his script out. |
