Mouse and Keyboard don't work

Alright I finally got past the Still Waiting For Root Device error by putting in a IDE dvd drive and now I get as far as the mac install screen language chooser but my mouse and keyboard don't work!

I've tried three USB mice and a USB keyboard and then tried a PS/2 mouse and a PS/2 keyboard.

As far as I know my BIOS doesn't have a legacy USB option.

 

I get the same error with 10.4.8 JAS AMD Intel SSE2 SSE3 incl PPF1, Uphuck 10.4.9 Universal dvd v1.3 and Mac OSX 10.5.1 AMD SSE2 SSE3 32 bits

 

Thanks in advance!

Have you tried waiting for the installer screen to start then inserting a USB device? Some USB controllers act strange if a device is plugged in before OS X completely loads.

 

That's what happend with a notebook I worked on. Plugg in a Keyboard/Mouse after it loads and all is well.

I had to have a PS/2 Mouse and Keyboard with a USB Mouse plugged in all at the same time on certain installers now that I am actually thinking about it.

 

The USB mouse should function instead of the PS/2 Mouse.

 

Give that a try
