Re: Missing USB devices.

[Aleš Nesrsta]

Hi,

please send output of
lspci -vvv
lsusb -vvv
Run it as root or via sudo.

Some general advices:

1.
Do not include "insmod usb_keyboard" - this module should be loaded 
automatically from usb module.

2.
If Your keyboard is connected to USB controller via hub (it can be 
internal, integrated in PC), try my patch which I sent in thread
"[PATCH] Re: [grub-devel] loongson-2f mini-pc (fuloong) elf image 
generation." (sent at 18.7.2013 18:10 CET).
AFAIK, this patch is not included in trunk yet (I didn't commit it yet - 
and probably nobody else) - it may help (if it is Your case).

BR,
Ales
