Are you using an USB keyboard? Here's an excerpt from the installation
guide that might be relevant:
If you have no AT-style keyboard and only a USB model, you may need to
enable legacy AT keyboard emulation in your BIOS setup. Only do this
if the installation system fails to use your keyboard in USB mode.
Conversely, for some systems (especially laptops) you may need to
disable legacy USB support if your keyboard does not respond.
Consult your main board manual and look in the BIOS for "Legacy
keyboard emulation" or "USB keyboard support" options.
syslinux does not handle USB keyboard directly, which might lead to the
behaviour you are describing.
