Subject: 5.3RC2 and usb keyboards install problems

Hi there,
 
Work recently purchased a Dell gx280. I orignally installed 5.2.1 and had
problems with drivers. It was kindly mentioned that i should install 5.3 to
help with these problems. I was also informed about problems with usb
keyboards on boot/startup.
 
Ive tried to have a look on google and couldn't come up with any solutions.
I have tried to install 5.3 (from cd) however, sysinstall doesn't respond at
all, on any of the options i choose to boot from. The BIOS doesn't have an
option for keyboard for me to make changes. dmesg output before the
sysinstall screen says "atkdb0 [GIANT-LOCKED]".
 
I dont know how to set " set hint.atkbd.0.flags="0x1"" if i cant access the
keyboard, and the OS isn't installed for me to make any changes.
 
apologies for my ignorance and confusion.
 
if someone can point me in the right direction and or help me, id be very
grateful.
 
thank-you in advance.
 
ams
