However, this afternoon I experienced the problem again on a Dell P90 box (circa 1995.) However, there were some circumstances that might make this easier to reproduce for a diagnosis. I was trying to scroll-lock on the device probes to ensure I had entered everything correctly in the CLI (the port for ep0 needed to change from the value in the GENERIC kernel); but instead of pressing [Pause] - I had pressed [Scroll Lock]. This, of course, did not prevent me from going into the nice/graphical installation... but it did cause the problem I previously described to appear. Very few keys actually caused any action; and the only action that was caused was the "Do you want to exit the install?" dialog. - Hope that helps - - Dave Rivers -
