Comment 1 Ladislav Slezák 2005-10-26 09:24:35 UTC 
Please, provide more information - when exactly does it happen (how to reproduce it)? What does "stuck" mean? Are you able to switch consoles? Does num/caps lock work in that state?
Comment 2 Jacob Lebovits 2005-10-26 17:10:11 UTC 
after press install on the first stage, the kernel start to load.
when all the modules stsrt to load the keboard stop to response. 
num and caps not working at all.

it look that the PS output keyboard and mouse not working at all, when the mouse attached to usb I can use the mouse, and when its attached to PS the mouse not responding at all.

Thanks for your input.
Please remember to always reset the status from NEEDINFO to ASSIGNED

The same Mainboard, nForce4-4X chipset; AMD Athlon64 3200+.
While installation loading kernel stops at line "Activating usb devices"
If turn off USB controller in BIOS Setup, installation finishes correctly (but, seems, not find chipset correctly...)
If then turn on the USB controller and try to load Linux, kernel stops at line "PCI: Probing PCI hardware".

Now I'm triing to update kernel to version 2.6.14.2 from patches, but can't lunch "make <any>config"
(error "arch\x86_64\Kconfig already scanned?")
Comment 5 Egor S 2005-11-13 14:07:09 UTC 
Sorry, GA-K8NF-9 (not GA-K8NMF-9)
Comment 6 Vojtech Pavlik 2005-11-13 14:37:14 UTC 
How about if you just, in the bios, disable "Keyboard & Mouse USB support"
or "Legacy USB support" or a similar option, while leaving the USB controller
enabled.

There is a bug/feature in nVidia BIOS/EHCI implementation that makes the kernel
unable to takeover the controller properly if that option in the BIOS is enabled.
Comment 7 Egor S 2005-11-13 15:25:28 UTC 
USB Mouse and keyboard support was disabled in both cases
I mean option "On-chip USB" ( V1.1; V1.1+V2.0; disabled - three positions,  problem don't take place only if USB disabled).
BIOS F9 Updated yesterday.
Comment 8 Egor S 2005-11-14 06:15:13 UTC 
Need I to open a new bug?
Comment 9 Egor S 2005-11-14 18:29:08 UTC 
Problem with USB support disappears in kernel 2.6.14.2
Thanks to all!
Sorry, I see now, that there is another bug..., not as original 130566.
Comment 10 Vojtech Pavlik 2006-01-11 11:08:31 UTC 
So is this problem still there with the current 10.0+you kernel?
Comment 11 Matej Horvath 2007-02-16 14:14:28 UTC 
No reaction on this bug for a long time. Closing as CANTFIX.
