Won't boot with keyboard plugged in

#1 Post by DeadTOm76 »

Debian 10, fully up-to-date.

I got a new keyboard, a "cloudnine" brand, split, mechanical keyboard with lots of LEDs, some additional keys, and a volume knob.

While this keyboard is plugged in, the PC will not boot. It turns on, gets passed POST, and the GRUB screen comes up. When it continues beyond the GRUB screen, I only have a blinking cursor. Nothing shows up anywhere in the logs, and there are no messages on the screen, so I have no idea what the hold-up is. The only thing I can do is unplug the keyboard and hit the reset button on the PC case.

Once passed the GRUB screen, and I see the boot messages scrolling by, I can plug the keyboard back in and there are no issues. From then on, the keyboard functions perfectly.

When I plug it in, it registers as the following:

Code: Select all

kernel: [1784648.237198] usb 2-5.4: new full-speed USB device number 11 using ehci-pci

kernel: [1784648.467675] usb 2-5.4: New USB device found, idVendor=0c45, idProduct=8006, bcdDevice= 1.38

kernel: [1784648.467683] usb 2-5.4: New USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=0

kernel: [1784648.467687] usb 2-5.4: Product: USB-Keyboard

kernel: [1784648.467690] usb 2-5.4: Manufacturer: SONiX

Does anyone have any idea what the issue might be?

New keyboard might be too new for oldstable?
Image Stable / Asus VivoBook X421DA / AMD Ryzen 7 3700U / Radeon Vega Mobile Gfx (Picasso) / 8 GB RAM / 512GB NVMe

That's very vague. I would expect the OS to at least boot, and then see some sort of driver errors or something in the logs, were that the case. The keyboard works just fine once the OS starts to load. No driver errors, no errors of any kind, all functions work like they should. There is something happening between GRUB doing it's thing, and the OS beginning to load.

That sounds like an initramfs issue. With OS loaded and keyboard plugged in and working, rebuild initramfs

I'll look into that. Thanks for the suggestion.
