I'm attempting my first install of Linux.  I have Red Hat 5.2  I boot
from the CD and then hit enter to start the install process.  The kernel
loads and then Linux goes through loading drivers and stuff.  When it gets
to the keyboard, I get "keyboard timed out" about three times and then it
goes on to the initial screen.  Well from there I am dead in the water.  The
keyboard will not function at all at this point.  My only option is a cold
reboot.  I've tried another keyboard with the system to no avail.  Same
problem.  Anyone have ANY ideas.  Linux can't be THAT tough to get up and
running.  Maybe a BIOS problem????????  I have checked and there really
isn't anything as far as keyboard settings go in the BIOS.     HELP ME!!!!
