Description of problem:
-----------------------
I have been trying to install Phoebe2 (8.0.93) onto my old PII 300 machine using
only a keyboard (no mouse) by booting off from my SCSI CD-ROM (haven't tried
booting off or installing from the net).

However, just when "anaconda" begins to run, my keyboard stops responding. It
seems the system is responsive as I can see the hDD led blink at some times, but
I can't use ALT-F2 to get to a console or ALT-F4 to see kernel messages. At this
point "anaconda" complains that no mouse has been found and lets me choose
whether I want to perform a text-only install. But since my standard, Spanish
PS/2 Microsoft Natural Elite keyboard has just stop responding I can't do anything.

So, I rebooted and this time, at the ISOLINUX prompt, I entered "linux text" to
perform a text-mode installation. However, the problem was the same: just when
"anaconda" starts detecting the video hardware, mouse, et al, my keyboard stops
responding.

I have found that attaching my Logitech Wheel USB mouse to one of the USB ports
fixes the problem and, in fact, I'm now installing Phoebe2 using keyboard and
mouse in graphical mode.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
-------------------------------------------------------------
Phoebe2 beta (8.0.93)... I think this is related to "anaconda" as my keyboard is
working just up until the moment "anaconda" is run. It seems a hardware
detection problem killing the PS/2 keyboard controller.

How reproducible:
-----------------
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
-------------------
1. Better if you can get to work on this on a machine similar to mine.
2. Make sure no mouse is attached, only a PS/2 keyboard.
3. Boot from CD1
4. The system will start booting, "anaconda" will run and, at that moment, the
keyboard will not respond. Pressing NumLock won't toggle the keyboard led so,
it's evident the keyboard driver is not listening.
    
Actual results:
---------------
Can't install Phoebe2 from CD-ROM with no mouse attached. Doing so, the keyboard
becomes unresponsive.

Expected results:
-----------------
The keyboard shouldn't stop responding after loading "anaconda" while installing
from CD-ROM with no mouse attached.

Built-in floppy drive controller disabled by BIOS (no floppy drive on this
machine :-))

I'm installing Phoebe2 by booting off my Plextor SCSI CD-ROM, with no mouse
attached to the system. However, plugging a Logitech Wheel USB mouse makes the
problem described above disappear :-)
