Hi.

I have some problems with my USB Keyboard. It's a Logitech "Internet
Navigator" Keyboard. When I'm booting Linux (Redhat 9.0) from CD (or
just regular boot) my keyboard does not work every time.

When I'm booting from CD, the keyboard works just fine at the
boot-screen (the screen with options like install, upgrade,
rescue-mode etc..). But when the login-screen in RH shows up, me
keyboard does not work. The CAPS LOCK LED is off.

Excactly the same thing happens when I do a regular boot. Keyboard
works just fine in GRUB, but not when I get to the login-screen.

Sometimes when I make changes in BIOS and then reboot it works just
fine, and I can't understand why. I doesn't have to change anything
either.. I can't find any reasons why it works only sometimes..

This also happens when trying to install i.e. Gentoo, BeOS, and
Windows. These problems does never show up in Win XP, only under
install.

Both USB Support and USB Support for DOS are enabled in BIOS.

I have an AMD XP 1700+ (k7s5a mainboard), 256 MB RAM, Intel 21041
Ethernet adapter, SB Live 128!

Could anyone help me on this one?

Regards, Kim.
