Re: Keyboard Hang-Up issues on Install

["Judge Dredd" <dredd2k@rogers.com>]

Well its a strange situtation I had, I installed gentoo and had not
problems, and when I recompiled the kernel i ran into the same issues. If i
unplugged the keyboard during boot and then at login plugged it back in it
worked without any problems, very strange indeed but I found a way around it

Thanks for the help anyhow
