NOOBS and USB keyboard

[OtherCrashOverride]

I just installed Raspbian using NOOBS from the download page. The install was without issue. At first boot I set my timezone, en-US-UTF8 local, and US 104 keyboard at the initial raspi-config menu. After finishing and reboot, my RPi booted and I had difficulty logging in due to keyboard missed and repeating keys. Once I managed to login, I continued to experience this problem. I then issued "sudo reboot". The keyboard then seemed to function properly again.

I am not posting this as a bug because I do not currently have the free time to try reproducing it. I presented this information here in the event someone else encounters this problem and can file a proper bug report.

(Addendum: I have never experienced any USB keyboard issues with the RPi using this hardware configuration. No other commands were entered between login and reboot.)

You are just experiencing the standard skipping keys problem that can 'randomly' be made worse (there is a good reason for it, but it's basically due to the timing of usb enumeration, if you just happen to get all your devices enumerate in a particular timing pattern then it'll make the problem much worse!)

The fiq_split branch solves this problem, but we still need a little more testing before going global! (Three weeks of testing have uncovered no additional problems so you can try it out)
