StephenC Posted September 17, 2005 Posted September 17, 2005 Ok, first check your battery for keyboard. Have you tried another keyboard. Clearing cmos? Reflashing bios? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SloppyG Posted September 17, 2005 Posted September 17, 2005 is this keyboard usb? did you enable the usb keyboard support in the bios? i believe this has to be enabled for it to work in a non windows environment Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobthebozo Posted September 17, 2005 Posted September 17, 2005 It may not solve your particular problem, but this is good advice for anyone putting together a new system: Spend the big $10 on a PS/2 keyboard and mouse for initial setup and testing. Don't use one of those green USB to PS/2 adapters - get a real PS/2 pair. Why not avoid a *very* common source of setup aggravation, RMAs, and general wailing and gnashing of teeth?
