Oh, sorry about that.
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

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.
