It is well known that the console driver and the PS/2 mouse driver under 2.1.X have serious conflict problems. *sigh* I don't know if this works for you, but worth a try. Edit the "keyrate=" line in /etc/sysconfig so that it looks: keyrate=fast This will run "kbdcontrol -r fast" at the end of the rc scripts during system boot process. This command changes key repeat rate and may recover your keyboard as a side effect. (You may specify "slow" or "normal" if you like. Consult the man page of kbdcontrol for details.) Kazu
