Hi Marcus,

As per your instructions I followed the wiki. As other people I can't the
keyboard to work.

Here is the list of my files in the rescue folder:
E:\linux\rescue>dir
Volume in drive E has no label.
Volume Serial Number is DC24-8F1B

Directory of E:\linux\rescue

The specific error I am getting, which probably is the same error other
people are getting is:

EXECUTING CUSTOM RESCUE SCRIPT

INSTALLING H4300 KEYBOARD SUPPORT.
Clearing state_want and state_flag for pkg=kernel-module-h4300.kbd-2.6
(arch_priority=0 flag=16 want=2)
Nothing to be done
An error ocurred, return value: 4.
Collected errors.
Cannot find package kernel-module-h4300-kbd-2.6
Check the spelling or perhaps run 'ipkg update'
    *ERROR*

After this booting halts and rescuedisks screen doesn't load.

Luis
