Sorry for the delay of testing. I get married and started a new job ... my 
apologize.
Just to say that you may close the bug, the patch below worked  for me :
http://mail.gnu.org/pipermail/bug-grub/2002-May/007203.html
Still, could you update the gentoo distribution with this patch, or should I do 
it for you ?

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.

The A20 patch works for me, as well. We will still need to get some sort of usb 
support natively, though. Is is possible to fit enough usb support into grub to 
get keyboard support?

my bios has a dos usb function and it makes my usb keyboard to work in grub, 
but it also makes my usb mouse to cause an oops in the kernel so its no really 
useful

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?
