Description of problem:
I tested Redhat 7.2 AND Redhat 7.3.
Since i updated the Kernel on a the 7.2
System, a PS/2-Keyboard must be connected!
The old 2.7.4 Kernel boot without!
RH 7.3 does the same.

I just upgradet to RH 8.0 and it seems that this problem has been solved.
But what's with all the old servers?
I'd love to use them with an USB-Keyboard instead of having to use a PS/2...
