[5b10]Keyboard stops working after some seconds on Mac
Posted: Mon Jan 26, 2009 1:02 am
Hi,
I have an Intel PowerMac here where a HDD is supposed to be damaged. Since I used UBCD on "normal" PCs I wanted to use it here too.
Selecting the appropriate Tool from the first menu works fine but as soon as the software is loaded the keyboard stops working after 1-2 seconds. Quite funny as I can, e.g., select EMM/UMB/no UMB in the menu when I hit the key very fast but if I'm too slow the keyboard is gone. AFTER the menu where I can select which drivers to load the keyboard works fine and then finally freezes/gets disabled when I enter the software. So UBCD is unusable.
Any idea where this might come from and how to fix it? It's a USB keyboard as Macs don't have PS/2-Plugs. Dualcore Xeon with 2.4 GHz and 4 GB RAM.
Cheers
John
