Summary:  No support for USB KeyBoards !!

Original Submission:  When configuring GRUB with an USB keyboard, i'm enable to 
select the OS I want to boot, since the keyboard doesn't work at all. (after 
booting, in linux, or windows, this is ok)
Lots of people seem to have this problem. I didn't found solutions on the net.
Thanks by advance for your help.

BIOSes that don't do A20 right appear to be real common and since many newer 
computers only have a USB keyboard this needs to be given the highest priority. 
 There was a patch posted to the mailing list that dealt with the A20 and USB 
problem, what is the status of that patch?

Just wanted to add "me too".  I am having this problem on a Abit NV7m 
motherboard, running the latest bios: 6Q. 

thanks

Here's my config:
IBM Netvista (a "Tower" computer)
with Phoenix BIOS 4.0 Release 6.0 for IBM Netvista.
I've got an USB Keyboard connected (only, this, no other keyboard).
Using LILO, i don't have the problem.

I can try stuffs if you want (and if i don't completly loose my MBR ;)

Yes my BIOS supports USB keyboards ! And i've checked everything in the bios 
(it's a pretty cool one) and everything seems to be ok...
Perhaps USB support isn't simply implemented in grub ??

Does your BIOS support a USB keyboard?
