You missed the end of the message!

        The user [not me] had plugged the keyboard into the ps2 mouse
        connector. The mouse was connected to a usb port.  The keyboard
        would not work until FC6 booted after which everything appeared
        to work normally.  Once the proper connections were restored
        things returned to normal.


Thanks for the response.
