I had a working knoppmyth box. its a friends box, he does NOT use the TV part.. only the music weather movies parts.. i buildt him a IR receiver and took out the bttv card i put in for him so he could use the remote. well 1st boot after i took the card out it goes to a root login (totaly expected) except the keyboard doesnt work?! i can use the mouse to start myth and my remote works great to control it, however still no keyboard. I verified that keyboard works in bios.. just not boot.. anyone know of a log to check for keyboard?? any ideas

Is this a USB or PS2 keyboard?
If USB are the drivers borked?

Ok thats all I got....anyone else?

yeah i supose i should have mentioned that.. its a PS2 keyboard...

Check the keyboard configuration in your /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 file. I'm guessing that you copied it from somewhere else or changed something else between the initial install and the final system...

does your bios have "disable usb keyboard"?

its not a usb keyboard, so that shouldnt matter much =)



the wierd thing is the system has been up for a couple months.. no problems.. all i did was shut it down and took the haupauge card out.. then on next boot bam.. no keyboard.. Not too big of deal.. the remote works.. and ill hold out for r5, then just reload it. course if anyone has any 's let me know.

mine is doing it too. unfortunately, mythtv wants me to do the setup script. no keyboard = no script

well can help you on how to fix the no-keyboard problem, as mine is still not working. I have pretty much accepted the fact i will need to reload. but if you can use putty to be your keyboard, and set it to display on the TV. I wrote howto somewhere on this thread, its basicly just export display. i cant remember the exact syntax.
