I don't think this is relat= ed to busybox, it could be a module or a bios issue.

What type of keyboard do you use, some keyboards need special kernel driver= s.

I downloaded the Alpine Linux 2.5.1 ISO images to test.

My test platform:
MSI Fuzzy 690T motherboard, uses AMD NB & SB c= hipsets
AMD Athlon 64 X2 cpu
4G DDR-2 800 MHz SO-DIMM RAM
onboard = AMD 1200 Radeon video in AMD M690T chipset
SATA-II HDD (WD 320G Black 2.= 5 inch drive)
USB keyboard
USB mouse (Microsoft-compatible)
USB CD-ROM (via IDE-to-= USB case)
Media: CD-RW
ISO: Alpine Linux x86 and x86_64 v2.5.1 ISOs
BIOS set to support USB-HID devices
BIOS set to boot from USB CD-R= OM

Experience:
(1) System will boot from CD
(2) System will display = output to screen during boot
(3) Login prompt is displayed
(4) USB ke= yboard works fine before Busybox is loaded

What do you mean before Busybox, i guess you mean the b= ios (before the kernel is loaded)?
=A0
(5) USB keyboard is dead at lo= gin prompt
(6) Unable to login via USB keyboard

Other tests:
O= ther _current_ Linux ditributions have been tested
on the same hardware using both USB CD-ROM and USB
"stick" met= hods. All of these distributions will
support all of the devices listed = above.

Example Linux distributions tested:
(either x86, x86_64, o= r both were tested)
Fedora 17
CentOS 6.x & Scientific Linux 6.x
Ubuntu 12.04 & 12= .10
ARCH Linux
CRUX 2.8
Gentoo


Can you check which modules are loaded and compare= it with the ones in alpine?
=A0
Notes:
USB keyboard issue in Alpine Linux 2.5.1 appears in
both the x86 and x86= _64 versions.

I noted from the Alpine Line 2.5.1 Git log that USBdevice issues in Busybox have been seen previously.

Do USB issues s= till exist in Busybox as used by
Alpine Linux and is that being seen in my testing?

I am not a subscr= iber to this mailing. Please
include my email address in your reply.
