USB Keyboard and mouse problem during installation...

[Edward J. Cargill]

I had this exact same problem, except not with my USB mouse just with my 
USB keyboard.  The only fix I found was to get a PS/2 keyboard, nothing I 
tried ever got the USB keyboard to work.

Hope you can find a way to get your USB keyboard to work, but if you can't 
just switch to PS/2.  I did try a USB>PS/2 adaptor and that also didn't 
work for me.  It had to be a complete new keyboard with only a PS/2 connection.

Hi,

I`m trying to install RedHat9 on a PentiumIII 1Ghz, 512MB Ram, MatroxG450
video card, Ibm LCD monitor, 2 HD (15 and 20 GB), 2 CD-rom drives, etc...

Both of my mouse and keyboard are USB

When i boot the computer, the initial setup screen appears and everything
seems normal. The mouse and keyboard are funtionning.  Then, when i start
the installation process (tried every combination, lowres, text, noprob,
etc..)...when it arrives at the actual installation window, the mouse and
keyboard are no longer active!!!...so i can't progress with the
installation...

Any one had this problem? is it common?

Thanks.

Emmanuel
