I just installed CentOS so I haven't been able to setup SSH. No KVM switch and I haven't been able to find anything in the bios that talks about the keyboard. I'll check to see if I have the latest bios installed.

The system isn't real old but wasn't made yesterday. The system is using PS/2 connectors. I want to try a USB keyboard but I don't have one, unfortunately.
Out of all the problems I thought I might encounter, this isn't one of them.
Thanks, Eric
Can you ssh into the machine (from an external machine) after the keyboard locks up or is the machine locked?
Are you hooked up to a KVM switch?
Do you have the latest BIOS installed from the Motherboard manufacturer?
Is there a BIOS setting for keyboard that has a USB / PS2 selection?

I just setup an old box with CentOS 4 and I'm having a very strange problem. The keyboard is functional throughout the startup process of the machine. I get the login prompt and I get just enough time to type in "root" and hit the enter button before the keyboard fails. I've tried a different keyboard but still the same problem. After a few repeated trials I've found that the keyboard will stop functioning after about 5 seconds from when the login prompt appears on the screen.
Does anyone have any ideas on this problem?
How old a system and keyboard are we talking here? Are we talking AT style keyboard, ps/2 keyboard, usb keyboard on an old system (where bios usb handling can cause this sort of confusion) etc. Give us an idea of what we're working with.
