Comments on FC5 installs "hanging"

I have seen some comments about people complaining about FC5 installs hanging on boot. I have not paid attention to it because I had other worries.

Then I upgraded my home machine.

Booted the disc.  It goes to the prompt and "hangs".

But it is not a hang. Took me about 30 seconds to realize that for some reason the system was not seeing the USB keyboard. Once I put a ps/2 keyboard on the machine, everything worked fine.

The motherboard is an Intel P4 3ghz hyperthread. (Actually made by Intel.) I don't have the model number at the moment. (It would require opening it up.) 82875P is the chipset. Might be a clue. I can get more details if anyone wants to track it down. (Answer off line as I get drowned out by list mail and the filters hide a lot of it.)

When I can reboot and get into the BIOS, I will try to find out more. (I have 2.4 gigs of updates to go!)

What is weird is that the BIOS reports "legacy keyboard" even if I have a PS/2 keyboard plugged in. (And it works with the bios screen, so it knows how to use it until it hits grub.)
