Genius SlimStar strikes back again
Some time ago, I had
a
problem
with keyboard Genius SlimStar and my Mac Mini. I had similar issue
yesterday. I was installing two 1U machines IBM x3550 at the hosting
centre and the only available USB keyboard was... yes, Genius
SlimStar. Connected OK, it worked in GRUB, but it didn't work in
GNU/Linux. Strange. Technicians (BTW, very professional team there,
unfortunately not available or extremely expensive for normal
companies) from the hosting company were able to found another
keyboard and it worked well.
Maybe the problem is really in the keyboard itself 8)
And as a small reminder for me for the future: 1. when your machine
has BMC that can't be turned off, check if your port on the switch is
not configured for one MAC only ;-) 2. when you'll work half a day in
airconditioned server room, always plan one "bed" day the next day :-(
