A truly heroic effort, Peter.
I'd have removed a PCI device or tried a USB keyboard first.
The Keyboard uses IRQ 1, and I don't know that any other device would
try to use it. I wonder if there isn't another hardware problem of some
kind? How are your resources allocated in the BIOS?

With one of
my computers I had to reinstall windows and the install went
smoothly enough until the key had to be typed in and the
keyboard would not respond, tried a different keyboard and same result.
Tried installing win98 and Ubuntu and same result each time.
Now this computer had 6 PCI slots filled, it's an Abit KT-7A with 1 AGP,
6 PCI, and 1 ISA with no onboard devices. So I swapped out the PCI
Geforce 420 and put in an older ATI Radeon 7000 AGP. Problem solved.
Now the items on the PCI bus are a USB 2 card, a USR analog modem, a
Audigy sound card, a D-Link network card, and a Promise SATA card. I
wonder why the system locked out the keyboard for an install yet when I
had all the PCI slots filled for an existing installation it worked fine.
Any ideas?
