S10-3C & linux & keyboard [ Edited ]

[bsavelev]

Hello all!

When I run linux (any distro) on my netbook lenovo s10-3c -- keyboard doesn't work!

keyboard works perfectly in bios, in grub (or lilo), in windows, but not in linux.

I try linux kernel 2.6.35, 2.6.36, 2.6.37-rc2 -- no way. keyboard doesn't work

I upgrade BIOS up to 3CCN13WW. keyboard doesn't work

All keys are disabled, numlock, capslock... It's seems like keyboard haven't power.

with Google I find topic:

http://s10lenovo.com/viewtopic.php?f=47&t=4482

where solution is add to kernel opts 'noapic acpi=off' -- Viola! keyboard work. But battery state, powersaving, powerbutton and other usefull things doesn't work

So this is not a workaround...

The question is "how I can launch linux with apic and acpi on lenovo s10-3c?"

where I can find answer? In linux kernel team or maybe in lenovo developers team? Maybe exist some error in bios?..

I don't know. Just post something if you can help me...

don't read this topic. go to https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/677633

Thanks for reply!

I already read this thread, but it's very old and describe another problem.

touchpad, mouse, external keyboard works fine in all cases.

keyboard doesn’t freeze (as describes) -- keyboard doesn't work -)

I If you want to use any linux on your netbook go with jollycloud. it is compatible with your system ;-)

http://www.jolicloud.com/

it's sound like a joke -)

nothing about s10-3c on http://www.jolicloud.com/product/compatibility

(s10-3 and s10-3c are different?)

"Jolicloud is built on top of Ubuntu 9.04 (Jaunty) Netbook Edition" (from wikipedia)
So 99% that Jolicloud doesn't work on s10-3c like ubuntu 10.10 that I already try.

I'll it try tonight!

A compatibility list is provided at the own discretion of the Linux vendor as most of them are free they have no compulsion of providing a compatibility list  does that make sense?

[bsavelev]

I know that vendors (asus, lenovo, etc) makes very different hardware with quite different names. One letter can mean very much

Maybe I don't understand your previous post, sorry.
My English is not very good-(

Anyway I'll try Jolicloud

ACPI support over open source operative system still being a pain in the... you know

[bsavelev]

Yeah -)

I see button "Accept as Solution" -- and your answer is really close to be a solution -)


I found Jolicloud kernel ( http://apt.jolicloud.org/pool/restricted/l/linux/ ) and want to test.
