It is important to note that:
1. I can type at the inital prompt just fine. The keyboard goes away after that point. This is true whether entering a graphical or text display installation method.
2. The CDs test out fine on another (non Compaq) system.
Given the other report of this same behavior, this is not totally isolated, and it is completely reproducable.
Any clues?
Thanks in advance.

Re: Red Hat 9 on Compaq Presario 2100 series laptop installation issue
From the Installer Boot options in RH9, I can choose "linux askmethod"
This bypasses the media inspection screen that normally appears first when launching the installer and it instead starts with the "Choose a Language" screen where my keyboard also does not function.
It appears that the Red Hat installer doesn't recognize my keyboard, regardless of how or where I enter.
Any suggestions?
Thanks again.

Re: Red Hat 9 on Compaq Presario 2100 series laptop installation issue
I put RH version 8 in and it has the same behavior, the keyboard doesn't function after it boots up the kernel for the installation program.
So, a kernel is booting and I am getting the first install menu, but I'm not geting past there since I have no functioning keyboard to respond with.

Re: Red Hat 9 on Compaq Presario 2100 series laptop installation issue
I left my home system downloading several other distributions as I've heard Debian and Mandrake work. I'm very curious about the Redhat problem though. Someone suggested I try using a separate book disk to load the kernel and then attempt an install.

SolutionAlso, change the video driver to "vesa" instead of "radeon". this is done after the install in the /etc/X11/XF86config file, under the "driver" section. I am searching right now to get the monitor to go into 1024x768 instead of 800x600... havent figured that out yet. and also, the hardest part yet is getting the PCMCIA slot to work. redhat 9's built in drivers just dont do it.. good luck!
