No access to keyboard when install Ubuntu Server 8.10

[UseTheFork]

Hi,

I am new to Ubuntu. I am trying to install Ubuntu Server 8.10 on a small Cappucino PC. I have burned the image successfully on a CD.

My Cappucino boots properly and the screen offering the language selection is displayed, but I have no access to my keyboard or my mouse to confirm the choice. Therefore, I cannot pursue with the installation.

However, I still have access to my keyboard earlier, because I can hit DEL and access the BIOS configuration.

My keyboard is standard DELL keyboard with a USB plug. Cent OS is currently installed on the Cappucino.

Does anyone know what is happening and how to solve this issue?

Thanks,

J.

P.S.: I have seen other posts suggesting pressing keys during the booting process, but this does not work...

Hi,

After googling several pages, I found the solution. I had to modify some deep configuration in my BIOS to enable USB keyboard and mouse detection.

Now it works fine !!!
