Bug 3961 – Keyboard error during Gentoo 1.2 install

• Product: Gentoo Release Media
• Status: RESOLVED INVALID

[Description start123 2002-06-20 20:56:09 UTC]

After 3 different keyboards I still cannot get past the language selection 
screen which promts me for a selection. 
By default I hit enter for the default "US" and it continues to 
echo "Unrecognized scancode (70)" 
If I try and type "qwerty" it'll come out all incorrect and I get characters 
instead; numbers are screwed up also... I can't turn on the num lock or scroll 
lock either...  Something doesn't look right.
Not sure if I can run loadkeys at some point before the prompt to try and set 
to a custom.map file that I know should work?

Note: I tried 3 differnrt keyboards. I know they work since I pulled them from 
running systems. Also the system I'm using had RedHat 7.3 on it a matter of 
minutes ago... so I know the computer and keyboard combo is fine. 
I also tried another cdrom copy of gentoo-i686-1.2.iso in case the iso was 
bad.. checked the checksum.. looks okay also.

Boot into a DOS disk and can type fine also.

Help??? 
Thanks in advance. 
Bobby

Since 1.2 is old, I'm closing this bug as the 1.4 keyboard handling stuff will
be all-together different anyway.

Moving these so we can remove the "Install CD" component from "Gentoo Linux".

I apologize to everyone for this spam, but according to the bugzilla developers,
this is the only reasonable way to do this.
