: I don't think that booting from RH 6.2 CD-ROM will enable
: USB support (?), but otherwise this is correct.

I don't think it will either. I was attempting it since it looks like the
keyboard works at the lilo prompt so I guess it's jumping to legacy PS/2
support.

: The OS should either be built with USB keyboard support so
: that when the USB host controller driver disables legacy
: emulation you still have a working keyboard, or the OS
: should be built with _NO_ USB support, so that the BIOS
: will continue providing legacy emulation support for your
: keyboard & mouse.

Okay, I'm pretty sure the standard boot kernel doesn't have USB support at
all since it's never detected it on any other systems.
