Concerns

Could there be a decision whether or not working USB keyboard support in Grub2 is a requirement or not? I'm talking of the with-driver support, not the legacy USB support that BIOS offers. Last I've tried it with various computers it's hardlocked them without any output. I wanted to bring this up because it's possible some day the legacy USB support will no longer exist and that point we have no bootloader which supports USB keyboards unless this works. (Grub legacy only supports legacy USB) This feature isn't necessary for migrating into Grub2 but we do need to have it working and tested at some point. nanonyme 01:51, 17 March 2011 (GMT+2)
