Keyboard 'hangs' on LiveCD

[djh-world]

Hello there.

I've tried searching the forums for an answer to this, but I'm currently having quite a few problems with attempting to boot off a 'lxnay reiser4-enabled' LiveCD, and there has been no definate answer on the forums itself

The CD boots up fine, I can select my kernel to use and then wait for the loading process to finish, until it reach's the prompt for you to type, this is where the keyboard seems to 'freeze' (numlock stays on regardless of input, same with caps lock) and I am unable to do anything.

The keyboard is a PS/2 keyboard, and I have tried using other keyboards, but I just get the same problem each time.

I've attempted to boot off the liveCD with the following options: -

Folks,

I'm having much the same problems, except that I can't even choose a kernel. I've tried two different keyboards, and both 2004.0 and 2004.2 livecd's. The same thing happens with another linux bootable cd I've tried using. The PC is currently configured with Red Hat 9, and I've also successfully installed Mandrake on it in the past. Interestingly, if I disconnect the keyboard the livecd will continue past the boot prompt, and if I connect the keyboard fast enough I can then get further into the installation. I suspect that there might be something about the bios on the machine that ISOLinux 2 doesn't like, but I don't know. The box has an Asus motherboard with a PIII processor.
