Chester) Subject: Keyboard problem..... Message-ID: <1993Jul18.030935.22304@news.unomaha.edu> Sender: news@news.unomaha.edu (UNO Network News Server) Organization: University of Nebraska at Omaha Date: Sun, 18 Jul 1993 03:09:35 GMT Lines: 16 Hi, I'm a grad student at The Univ of Neb @ Omaha and I ran into a snag while trying to install 386BSD on my system. During initial boot-up, I get a message telling me that my keyboard isn't connected. The message is coming from pccons.c and seems to be related to a call to a DELAY routine. The only argument to DELAY is a hard-coded integer of 2000. At the end of the line is a comment that reads "CROCK!". Apparently the author didn't like it either. Anyway, has anyone out there seen this before? Could a fix be as easy as increasing this delay? I get the feeling that my keyboard isn't responing fast enough, so it looks like it's not there. I'd appreciate any suggestions. Thanks. Dan Chester dchester@cwis.unomaha
