I saw this problem referenced in some posts in early May. I''m wondering if anyone has a solution. I have a Gentoo amd64 distro running on an Intel box. I did a base Gentoo install of 2.6.32-r7 which works fine. The Xen dom0 kernel I got to work with that install is what they call 2.6.32-r1. All works fine except that I get this really annoying key repeat. It''s not all keys and it''s not all the time, but when it happens I may get 10 letters spewed out instead of one. kbdrate has no effect. Sometimes it seems to help for a half minute or so but I think it''s really having no effect. I have a USB keyboard. I also see this during early boot: I have a LUKS encrypted partition and when initramfs prompts for that password, I get the repeat there as well (so much so that I''ve had to increase my retries so I can fail 10-20 times). Any ideas? -- Steve Sapovits steves06@comcast.net _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users
I''ve experienced that too and thought it''s due to my configuration. I tried to passthrough the whole USB controller but to no avail. USB mouse works choppy, but otherwise fine for me though. I tried with a dell USB keyboard, on Jeremy''s 2.6.32 and 2.6.31 kernels, same effect. Obviously I used qemu usb passthrough, not pvusb.

To complicate matters, it''s on a KVM switch. But I hit some success here. Playing around with kbdrate some more, I seem to have gotten past it by setting things slow enough. I''m doing this now and, so far, it''s working: kbdrate -r 8 -d 325 Since I also had to create my own initramfs script to get the LUKS piece working (Xen doesn''t seem to play well with Gentoo generated initramfs files) I was able to also add it there. So now I''m good at boot time and once I''m on. I''ll have to see if anything reverts it back. This is only for booting a dom0 and only on the console -- no domU guests yet and no X, graphics, etc. So I suspect I may be posting again. There still seems to be some underlying issue with the 2.6.32 xen kernel.> Obviously I used qemu usb passthrough, not pvusb.I had (I think) tried both before with no difference. -- Steve Sapovits steves06@comcast.net _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users
