USB Keyboard inactive at GRUB boot menu
Hello,
I'm a complete Linux Newb, but I'm learning a little at a time...
I recently bought a USB keyboard and attached to my openSuse 10.2 linux
machine - in place of the PS/2 keyboard I had installed with.
Everything works fine execpt when booting, my GRUB boot menu won't recognize
keyboard input, so I can't choose Windows unless I change my keyboard (I
know, maybe that's not a bad thing
). Â*
I can go into BIOS when rebooting - by pressing DEL on the keyboard, and I
can arrow up and down and enter on various BIOS settings, so BIOS
recognizes the keyboard. Â*
And after the default choice with GRUB loads (opensuse), then linux
recognizes my keyboard. Â*So, Only GRUB doesn't work, everything else is
fine.
What can I do to get GRUB to see my keyboard?
Much thanks in advance!

So you're saying that while in the BIOS menu you can use your USB
keyboard ?? If you look through your BIOS menu you should find a setting
which allows you to enable legacy USB keyboard support. Enable it and boot
to Grub again. Now, hopefully, your USB keyboard will work.
