1) I'd classify the need to have legacy USB support as a BIOS bug. Any relatively modern full OS will have USB HID support by default. DOS (by default) and Syslinux have no USB HID support. Grub2 has optional USB HID support when set by the configuration.
2) With regards to the Syslinux version-specific issues: Gutsy-7.10 contains Syslinux-3.36. Hardy-8.04 contains Syslinux-3.53. Intrpid-8.10 contain Syslinux-3.63. Only Hardy will be affected by this Syslinux version-specific bug that only affects select machines. Based on this, I would classify this as "Won't Fix" or "Fix Released" with a note in a wiki page about common issues. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/35530 Title: USB Keyboard not working -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
