I added to the , pass onto kernel line "acpi=off" and it started to
boot until it got to the point of detecting mouse,
is there any commands i can send to kernel to bypass mouse detection ?
Error message below;
"input: Macintosh mouse button emulation as
/devices/virtual/input/input0 PNP: no PS/2 controller found.
Probing ports directly."
This laptop is a Everex Cloudbook and it has no PS/2 mouse connection,
if you want a external mouse you will have to connect to USB .
It amazing, this laptop has no problem booting into Fedora 8.
I would look at this as a bug, wouldn't you ??
...i'd say file a bugzilla but F9 is still not an official release so
it may be that it will get fixed before the final release. I would do
as suggested above and check with the fedora-test and devel mailing
list to see what they think or you could crack open that desktop linux
reference manual or try a different mouse. Many are willing to help
but generally if its not officially released yet then you will find
that people are less concerned because many issues will get resolved
before final release( or you hope so anyway) As for another parameter
you could pass at boot time , i don't know off hand, i'd have to look
up how to work around mouse detection but that i think may mean
runlevel 3 which is no gui anyway.
It is my understanding you can report to bugzilla.redhat.com but you
select it as a "rawhide version"
