I recently installed Junior 2.2 on my AMD Athalon system. The install went great, untill the 2nt time I tried to use it. After
shuting down and booting the system, I could no longer use my keyboard in the x-windowing system. The keyboard would
stop working right before it got to the login screen. The mouse still worked, allowing me to select a user, but the keyboard
didn't work, so I couldn't log in.
Can anyone help with this?

What's the type of keyboard and mouse? (usb/ps2/com)

Seen the message that gpm may cause such behaviour facing mouse
problems. While I can't recall objective reasons for that other
than serial mouse and a PS/2 keyboard _with_ a faulty PS/2
controller which will freeze the keyboard when trying to access
absent PS/2 mouse (it's not uncommon hardware glitch), this may
help:
* boot into single mode (add "single" to "linux-up" line in
bootloader)
* after logging in with your root password, enter:
chkconfig gpm off
or even (if you don't use mouse in console mode):
rpm -e gpm
* type "exit" to get into normal runlevel.
