Is it a USB keyboard? Okay this may sound stupid and may not work but i have had a problem like that before and unplugging it and plugging back in actually worked...or try another USB port
Sometimes USB mice and keyboards act starnge like that

Here is my setup and what I have done:

1. Installed the latest YDL on a 60gig drive.
2. Removed drive from main computer and installed in firewire case.
3. The result is that -- on bootup -- the text menu allowing me to select
Linux or OSX does not appear.
4. No problem. Boot holding down the Option key.
5. YDL/firewire drive DOES appear on the screen.
6. When selected, the text boot message does appear.
7. Here's the problem -- keyboard doesn't work! I can't boot YDL.

This is on a PowerPC (Silver Doors), dual 800mhz computer.

Am I not going to be able to use this setup -- YDL on a firewire drive?
Is the only solution putting the YDL drive into the PowerPC Mac and
getting rid of the firewire arrangement? If so, can I add a third
drive to the Mac?
