I have experienced problems with PC keyboards not working properly at the bios (ok) prompt particularly with the key repeat. ie the last key that's pressed is repeated until the next one.

I used to have a wireless Logitech combo, which worked fine with 7.1. Now a use a wired USB MS natural Pro with a wired USB MS optical. Both worked flawlessly from the second I plugged them in, which is rather funny, since I couldn't get either of them working under Win98 without plugging in my old stuff in order to install the drivers! Funny, isn't it? we used to think that everything *may* work with linux, one just needs to spend some time setting things up (maybe recompiling the kernel or downloading some extra stuff).
