Keyboard timeout problem during Linux boot--HELP!

Keyboard timeout problem during Linux boot--HELP!

Post by Yong-hyeon Pyo » Tue, 12 Aug 1997 04:00:00



I have created the 'boot disk' and 'root disk' successfully from
'Slackware CR-ROM'. But during the booting, Linux printed out 'Keyboard
timeout' message twice. Afterward no keyboard typing does not work.
Due to the problem I can't change the boot disk to the root disk.

When I powered on my computer, the keyboard works well. Even in the OS/2
or DOS and Win95.
Is there any solutions?

My system configureation id
  Pentium 200MHz MMX
  128MB RAM
  AHA-2940UW SCSI controller( 4.0GB UltraWide HDD )
  1.6GB DIDE hard disk
  M$ Natural keyboard
  M$ compatible busmouse
  Matrox Millinium with 8MB
  SoundBlaster AWE64

If you have any trick or answers, please let me know...

Is it a supermicro motherboard?  If so, sorry.

1. Help! irq timeouts during boot time

Hello Folks:

Help! I moved my hard drives to my new system but I no longer am able boot
Linux system but not Windows 98 Beta 3 (Consumer Preview)!  My new system
is:

Tyan Tsunami ATX (S1846SLA) motherboard
AMI WinBIOS v1.03
Pentium II 350/100 Mhz
64 MB 8ns PC100 SDRAM DIMM module
Two 6.4 GB Seagate Hard Drives
  hda - Model ST6450A - Medalist Pro
        System Commander Dulexe 4.0
        Windows 98 Beta 3/Windows NT
  hdb - Model ST6451A - Medalist Pro Ultra (ATA-33)
        Linux RedHat v5.1

From System Commander Dulexe 4.0, I tried to boot RedHat 5.1 but only got
"LI" message on my screen!  I can't get the past around... I tried to boot
the installation disk that come with my boxed RedHat 5.1 package but...
I got weird message:

Partition Check:
hda: hda: irq timeout: Status=0x58 {DriveReady SeekComplete DataRequest}

I tried to reset system and tried it again. I still got the same
message. Help!  How do you get the past around? Or new kernel?

After I first started my new system, I got the virus warning message, etc.
I decided to re-install System Commander Dulexe 4.0 as fresh installation
and got attention message that said that disk geometry mismatch on last
partition. My old system was Tyan Tomcat I motherboard with MRBIOS chip.

Does anyone have the solution about this major problems? Do I have
reformat my all hard drives? Etc...

If so, I would appericate that. Thank you!
