The keyboard works fine at login prompt.
Is there a way to enable keyboard on boot.
K. 2.6.4

Need this feature in order to configure dual boot.

Thanks.

Do you use LILO or GRUB ?
if you press both shifts on boot then LILO shows you a prompt for multiple booting.

Write a little bit more about your problem.

Sounds like a usb keyboard? I never solved it, it worked fine except in grub. Then the keyboard started having spurious repeat problems so I swapped it with a ps2 style and never looked back ;)

Did you try setting legacy mode for your USB devices in BIOS? Helps here.

OMG...LOL

I had the ps2 keyboard in the mouse port.

Now it works fine, both before and after login prompt.
