The only options I found in the BIOS setup were to enable or disable legacy USB support. I build another kernel to boot my existing linux (which is Mandrake, and it was only possible to install because the mouse worked). The kernel complains about a non-existing or not AT-compliant keyboard. Later while booting the input core and usb support work, but that is too late to change the floppies. You have to du it earlier in boot process. Perhaps there is a parameter for the kernel to look for usb devices earlier? Christoph
