I haven't tried a USB-only keyboard with linux, but...
Did you try enabling USB keyboard support in the BIOS? I'm not sure
what that does, but it may work...
Do you have a USB/pin-6 or whatever adapter for it? Or does it have
both a USB and pin-6 connections on the same cable? Mine does, and I
simultaneously plug in both ends so I have normal keyboard support and
can use the built-in USB hub.
Otherwise, you may have to make your own boot disk with USB keyboard
support if there aren't any currently available.
