You are saying the enter key doesn't work?  Thus you are not able to
continue from this screen?

If so, can you clarify for us if you have a USB keyboard on that box?

Is the BIOS setup to emulate a normal keyboard?

Which kernel flavor are you using?  You might try idepci and bf2.4
flavors both...
