Is there an option in the BIOS for something like "Legacy USB Support" ?
If there is no specific option for allowing a USB keyboard at boot then
the legacy option may enable "DOS" (for that read "anything that uses
the BIOS to read the keyboard") to use the keyboard you now have. I
think this may make it play nice with GrUB.


Cheers,
