- Perhaps the keyboard is disabled in the CMOS setup (keyboards are optional on
- those machines). Try entering setup (CTRL-ALT-INS, I think) and make sure
- that the entry under keyboard does NOT say "NOT PRESENT". If it does,
- that's your problem -- switch it to PRESENT or INSTALLED or whatever...
