McKinley keyboard problems.
Hi all,
We just got two HP McKinley systems in our lab, but I'm not able to install them with RH 7.2 (kernel-2.4.9-18) because they only got USB keyboard/mouse. When the kernel boots it complains about "keyboard jammed" and when the RH installer finally starts the keyboard is "dead". Any ideas ? Is this fixed with newer kernels ?
Thanks,

Steffen,
David's latest 2.4.18 patch set is getting pretty close to fully
functional on the zx1 chipset. The install kernel from RH is not going to work since it depends on some legacy I/O features in the Intel chipsets. I'd suggest trying Debian. The latest Debian kernel has the patch set necessary for this chipset (and it's free!).
