TDK. I am using PS/2 keyboard and mouse both from Microsoft

When after first state of the install my computer is rebooted and

during reboot.

I have a hard time seeing how this isn't some weird BIOS bug, but it
could be something not resetting state properly.

Comment 2 Miro Halas 2004-03-06 02:54:41 UTC

I can actually reproduce it also in a different way. If I plugin USB 
key (Lexar media) and reboot computer and the key is plugged in, then 
the keyboard and mouse don't work. If the key is not plugged in 
during boot and I plug it in later, the keyboard and mouse works.

Thanks for the bug report. However, Red Hat no longer maintains this version of
the product. Please upgrade to the latest version and open a new bug if the problem
persists.

The Fedora Legacy project (http://fedoralegacy.org/) maintains some older releases, 
and if you believe this bug is interesting to them, please report the problem in
the bug tracker at: http://bugzilla.fedora.us/
