Jeff, you missed a slash:
should be this:
But anyway it's not necessary. The boot error in dmesg returns plenty of proposed solutions to your problem , if you "shawn" the web.

I'd be tempted to try the last one first since it seems to be the easiest. Do these as root of course:
edit /etc/default/grub then add "i8042.notimeout i8042.nomux" to GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT
update-grub
reboot
I presume you've already added kernel parameters in /etc./default/grub before.
It should look like this:
Code: Select all
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="i8042.notimeout i8042.nomux"
If you have another kernel boot parameter in there, just add the new stuff separated by a space, between the quotes.

Thanks Shawn for the Alps experts but mooving right along....
Cleve I read your stuff.
"Upgraded CF-31 and at least one CF-19 are using Interlink Versapad" my quote from this:
http://www.printedelectronicsworld.com/ ... ughbook-19
This gave me a couple more keywords to search for. Which is where I am now.......(Interlink,versapad,Linux,Debian,touchpad)
I'll swap drives in a bit. Prefer to work on this type of problem from the machine that is ill.
When I loaded the driver bundle the installer threw a 1633? code......"Thu 08/13/2015 ERRORLEVEL:1633" One time only. Need to check this for clues.
I'll run this anyway for general information....I knew that a slash should be there but thought it was special or something.
So mooving on.

kodeniner: There is a typo after etc
(a period)(full stop)(dot)
In your post. Readers this means it should read /etc/default/grub # Not complaining, thanks for the help.
Back in a second on Linux.

Hehe, butterfingers.
Found this on boobtube:

It's a bit annoying to watch him fumble around to get a root shell, but he eventually manages to edit the default grub file. He puts it on another line and adds a few extra i8042 parameters to get it to work, though.

I don't watch if I can help it.
I presume you've already added kernel parameters in /etc/default/grub before.
It should look like this:
Code:
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="i8042.notimeout i8042.nomux"
If you have another kernel boot parameter in there, just add the new stuff separated by a space, between the quotes.
This worked fine.
Code: Select all
GRUB_DEFAULT=0
GRUB_TIMEOUT=5
GRUB_DISTRIBUTOR=`lsb_release -i -s 2> /dev/null || echo Debian`
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="i8042.notimeout i8042.nomux quiet splash"
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX=""
# Uncomment to enable BadRAM filtering, modify to suit your needs
# This works with Linux (no patch required) and with any kernel that obtains
# the memory map information from GRUB (GNU Mach, kernel of FreeBSD ...)
#GRUB_BADRAM="0x01234567,0xfefefefe,0x89abcdef,0xefefefef"
# Uncomment to disable graphical terminal (grub-pc only)
#GRUB_TERMINAL=console
The touchpad is not the same as I am used to but is working after this "fix"
Thanks,
Jeff
