Bug #816
closedUSB Keyboard Detection - Boot Hangs
0%
Description
I'm having issues with booting a system with a USB keyboard. The keyboard works perfectly fine, but when pfSense attempts to initialize all devices, there are problems and the system hangs:
Starting device manager (devd)...kbdcontrol: cannot open /dev/ukbd0: Device busy
I've tried multiple keyboards, with and without using a KVM, and the result is the same.
I've also tried booting without a keyboard altogether but then the error message is 'No such file or directory' instead of 'Device busy'.
The board being booted has no PS/2 ports, USB only. There is no 'legacy' option in the BIOS.
A similar problem is noted here: http://old.nabble.com/ukbd-probe-order-regression-td27433764.html Apparently there is a regression in ukbd.c from prior versions? They reference a patch that could fix the problem. Maybe this can be included in pfSense for those users without legacy ports?
