Hi Alisson, 

	I dont know the complete ins and outs of this, but I think it has a lot 
to do with the BIOS on your machine and/or how it is configured (IE: PS2 
emulation). 

	I have a machine that used to work just fine during the boot-loader and 
mountroot part of booting, but after a BIOS upgrade, it would no longer work; 
only the PS2 keyboard was active until the machine had booted far enough to 
bring up the USB stack. 

	Check your BIOS settings and see if any of them mention something about 
USB keyboards.
