Installed RHL 6.0 (from FTP site) on a Toshiba Tecra 8000 laptop. While installing, we chose the standard (default) keyboard setting (us), and everything went fine. Then, when the machine rebooted, _no_ input could be entered with the keyboard. Shut machine down (hit power switch), and added an external PS/2 keyboard. Powered up the machine, but the same problem occurred. Rebooted and logged in using single-user mode ('linux single'), which allowed us to enter commands with both the built-in and attached/external PS/2 keyboard. Obviously, there seems to be a problem on this machine. Any ideas on fixes that we can run while in single-user mode?
Turn off gpm. You can do this with 'chkconfig --level 35 gpm off'. Also, if you boot with 'linux confirm', you should get the option of choosing whether or not to start ar particular service.
