In order to do serial log capture, you will need a real COM port on the motherboard in order to connect to a second computer. Using a USB adapter requires a driver that uses the USB stack to communicate with the device. The USB stack cannot actually run while in KDL (because KDL halts all execution of the OS, drivers, etc.), which is also basically why you're having issues with your keyboard. I now have a serial port on my computer (direct COM port extension) > > If your computer has PS2 ports, then you should attempt to use a keyboard attached to that - if it does not, there are some options for having the BIOS take control back of the keyboard, but I think that only works when it is connected to a USB1.1 hub or something? Unfortunately, no PS2 port. i hope that the serial debug will be successful. Anyway do you know how to set it ? Is it part of the userbootscript? I know that there is a keyboard emulation via usb as long as the usb controller has not been initialized. But I did not deeply dig into the data sheet to check this. -- Ticket URL: <http://dev.haiku-os.org/ticket/8474#comment:13> Haiku <http://dev.haiku-os.org> Haiku - the operating system.
