List V3.8.1 bugs here

1. No USB keyboard support on Dell Optiplex GX280.

Some hardware details:

* USB Keyboard: Happens to be a Danish keyboard, shouldn't matter.
  * SUSE identifies the keyboard as "Dell USB Keyboard Hub" and uses the hid driver
* USB Mouse
* Pentium 4
* SATA hard drive

symptoms:

* Keyboard works at the "KNOPPIX: " boot prompt, anything after that it doesn't
* above the "Welcome to KNOPPIX... (etc)" white text line, you have:
    1. image of tux
    2. audit(somenumber.???:?)
    3. ata2: disabling port
  it's that 3rd line that perplexes me.
* Hangs 30 seconds into booting, immediately after message: "2.78 Knoppix booting"
* It seems it never detects anything USB (though the USB mouse kinda works later...)
* booting "debug" asks to type exit to continue... nothing responds on the keyboard
* booting "failsafe" makes it all the way to KDE where the mouse (mostly) works, but the keyboard does not.
* booting "expert" fails when it needs KB input to select SCSI drivers.
* booting the {nousb|nousb2|lang=da} all fail.
* booting "knoppix testcd" fails similarly
* booting "failsafe testcd" tests the CD and makes it into KDE as prev. mentioned

ideas:

* ?? I've tried a lot of tweaking and some searching, anyone experiencing similar issues?
* Is anyone having success with 3.8.1 and a new Dell?

With knoppix 3.8.1 (english) on an IBM x335 machine and console attached via a console chain cable the keyboard becomes inoperative after Knoppix has booted. After the CPU tuxes the following lines are written to the console:

i8042: Can't read CTR while initiating i8042
ide2: I/O resource 0x1E8-0x1EF not free
ide2: ports already in use, skipping probe

This did not happen with Knoppix 3.4 (english). Just to let you know. For further information please write: jvwCHANGETHISTOATSIGNiwr.fzk.de
