[Keyboard] Losing mouse and keyboard on new build how to pass kernel boot options

Asked by GoodOlMike

I just rebuilt my computer. I got an Intel i5 quad cpu, am asus P7P55D motherboard and 4 GB of Kingston memory and a Visiontek HD4670 pcie vid board. I start up normally and everything is fine till at some point, maybe quickly, sometimes not so quickly, my mouse and keyboard lock up. I've tried updating the motherboard bios, replacing the mouse, reinstalling ubuntu and still have the problem. This is a new one on me. Any ideas?

Try the boot options:

irqpoll
and/or
i8024.reset
and/or
i8024.nomux=1

I'm looking for a file to put those commands. Grub configure, boot configure?

gksudo gedit /etc/default/grub

Add one / some / all inside the quotes alongside:

quiet splash

Save the new file then run:

sudo update-grub

to apply the changes. Reboot to test.

at the risk of jinxing myself, I have to say that the fix has worked for 3 hours of torture testing :)
