From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Usb keyboard unavailable during boot until all usb devices are initialised (solutions?) [solved] (lemm.ee)

Without other usb devices the keyboard works immediately. With them it takes 5 ish seconds for it to start responding. This is regardless of which device is discovered first (which I can manipulate), it seems to just wait for all of them. Is there a way to make it not do that?

Edit: This is specifically about linux boot. It otherwise works fine in bios / bootloader

Was there no option about it on the BIOS/UEFI about something like that?

How would bios change how linux loads usb devices?

[–] eugenia@lemmy.ml 2 points 4 months ago

You never know how the kernel would behave compared to how the BIOS is setup. There might be some bios settings that force the kernel to behave a specific way.

There are lots of BIOS options that impact USB devices, and especially input devices. I'd start digging. If anything, I'd try plugging into the USB ports that are connected to the main bridge at the top of the board, and not any that are extended via passthrough cable. On some boards, those USB ports are set to emulate PS2 serial.
