Keyboard Locks up when I boot to Suse or fedora cd


When I boot up to the Installation CD Fedora5 or SUSE-10 my pc boots up
and display all the options to Install, however the Keyboard is DEAD I can't select anything.
If I boot up to an Ubuntu CD it works fine...
Dell E520.. USB keyboard Model L100 that came with the machine.
Thanks

Why are you trying to install such old version? If a recent Ubuntu works fine, I don't see a reason why Fedora 7 or Suse 10.2 shouldn't.

Try booting Suse with the SHIFT key pressed in; or update the BIOS.
