Description of problem:
Please help - I'm a linux newbie and having trouble installing Fedora.

When I boot from the first CD, I get the boot screen OK. At this point
the keyboard is fine, the num lock light is on and I can hit enter to
carry on.

During the boot all my harware seems to be detected OK but half way
through I noticed that the num lock light went out and then stays off.
When the install starts I cannot get further that the first screen
because the keyboard is no longer responding.

The keyboard is a HP USB keyboard, but I don't think this is going to
make a difference because I've read some other postson other sites
that describe the same problem but when using a standard PS2 keyboard.
It is not a fault with the keyboard as I have tried numerous different
keyboards that all work under Windows and also off linux KDE on cd.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Boot off of a FC3 installation disk.  
2.Choose either graphical or text installation mode
3.Keyboard stops responding after hardware detection

An update has been released for Fedora Core 3 (kernel-2.6.12-1.1372_FC3) which
may contain a fix for your problem.   Please update to this new kernel, and
report whether or not it fixes your problem.

If you have updated to Fedora Core 4 since this bug was opened, and the problem
still occurs with the latest updates for that release, please change the version
field of this bug to 'fc4'.

Thank you.
