I know it sounds funny, but since many people have reported strangenesses with the KB layout....

Did you try any other keyboard than US American ?

incredible ... we are not able to reproduce the strange things happening when US keyboard layout is selected.

We simply do not get this error on ANY of our test systems.

kmm1081: please use the german KB layout too. some hints:

- Y and Z are swapped
- @ is produced by left ALT+CTRL+Q (or ALTGr+Q)

Could you guys tell me what kinds of keyboards you use ?

Hi,

I'm installing on a PII 266 system. I'm using a MS Natural Internet Keyboard connected through a Belkin KVM switch. I have the same problem when I choose US Keyboard. If I choose German it works fine.

Hopefully this will help you.

Hi all,

i dont think this is in error in the keyboard driver anyway....
After the selecting of the keyboard the selected driver will be loaded immediatley from the CDROM.
For some drivers the CDROM access works for other not. Perhaps it doesnt work because of a "bad" CD drive, "bad" burned CD, "bad" IDE timing and so on...
We are still not able to reproduce this, but the reported error from Nils is a IDE driver message. So lets collect more data about your CD drive, IDE settings, BIOS versions ....
