Odd hardware problem

Hi,

I have a dual processor x86 box rescued from a school which wanted to
ditch it. The machine works fine and the discs are happy. It's quite
nice.

I've installed FC5 on it without a problem (other than the video card
not being recognised, which I'm not that bothered about as it's only
going to be used as a buildsys for FE).

However, on reboot, the machine is failing to recognise the keyboard -
absolutely nothing happens if I press the caps lock (no light on the
keyboard) or Num Lock (no light again).

Is this likely to be an ACPI problem as before it boots fully, I can
edit the command line in grub?

TTFN

Paul
