Hi

I downloaded the yarrow isos yesterday and installed fedora to my PC. Everything goes OK until the first reboot. Just before it reaches the welcome page the keyboard lights up like a Christmas tree. When the welcome screen appears neither mouse nor keyboard work so I can't continue or even shut down properly.

During the intial installation the keyboard and mouse are detected OK and work fine.

Anyone got any ideas?

PC specs are AMD Athlon XP 2000, 256Mb DDR RAM, ECS L7VMM2 motherboard, logitech MS61 PS/2 scroll mouse and a Genius K295 PS/2 keyboard, S3 ProSavage DDR onboard, VIA Rhine II onboard ethernet adapter and onboard sound, Excelstor 80Gb HDD (40Gb partition for Fedora and 40Gb for fat32), LG DVDROM and Plextor CDRW

Check your /etc/X11/XF86Config and see if everything is ok.
For example, see my keyboard and mouse section:

Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Mouse0"
Driver "mouse"
Option "Protocol" "IMPS/2"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
Option "Emulate3Buttons" "no"
EndSection

Identifier "Keyboard0"
Driver "keyboard"
Option "XkbRules" "xfree86"
Option "XkbModel" "pc102"
Option "XkbLayout" "us"
EndSection
