No Keyboard, No Mouse Under Mandrake 7.2?

[Cloak|56k]

Hi,

OS:Mandrake 7.2
Kernel:2.4.1
Environemt: KDE2
Status of User: Newbie

I have this weird problem under mandrake 7.2 when i do for exemple :Alt+F3 to get to a console after like 2 seconds it says :KeyBoard: Timeout - AT Keyboard Not Present.
so now i have no keyboard.....in console...

I check the kernel in xconfig and there are no difference between the config i did for my other box and this one (none major)

I installed mandrake on this box once before and i gave me to much trouble so DELETE it went.

Can some help if they were in the same situation?

System:

PIII 733Mhz
128 Pc133
30 Gig Maxtor Ata-100
Plextor 8X4X32A
Pioneer DVD Slot load
SBlive Xgamer 5.1
Hollywood Decoder Card
ect...
Standard AT Keyboard
Microsoft Intellimouse Pro ps/2
Asus motherboard
Plug-Play is on in the Bios

Thank You!

ps: I didn't upgrade any prog in mandrake it acted up in kernel 2.2.17 too.
pps: in console it says that i have a PIII737 and 127M RAM, is this a prob???
ppps: The mouse works off and on.....

This is the 3rd post from someone having weird things happening in Mandrake 7.2 in the last few hrs.
Maybe 7.2 is very buggy.
Are there any updates from Mandrake?

Try updating the bios on your motherboard.

I probably created the problem myself, and its worked fine on my other system.

So its not mandrake ;)

Why do you use alt-F3 rather than clicking on the console? The post infers you had keyboard before you tried to switch to console.
