[CLUE-Tech] Simple Keyboard Question

[DUSTIN MATTHEW CAMPBELL]

I could compile and install my kernal by booting off the CDROM.  But
everytime I booted off the hard drive it would not work.

Turns out that when ever I had my USB mouse plugged in, the keyboard was
configured as a USB keyboard as well.  I guess the USB modules were not
loading.  I unplugged my USB mouse, rebooted and it worked.  Kind of sad
it took me a week to just unplug my mouse.

Thanks for your help.
