I finally installed F9 on my Tyan S2865 amd64 last night.  As expected
the usb kbd didn't work during the install.  Unexpectedly it also
doesn't work under the installed fedora-9.  I do see a gripe during
booting that something has a hard time enumerating the usb hubs.  That
is no doubt related.

I now have two machines taken out of commission by F9.  This one with
a dead kbd and the machine with the unreadable output on the Matrox
MGA G400 framebuffer.  Grumble.
