I just setup an old box with CentOS 4 and I'm having a very strange
problem.  The keyboard is functional throughout the startup process of
the machine. I get the login prompt and I get just enough time to type
in "root" and hit the enter button before the keyboard fails.  I've
tried a different keyboard but still the same problem.  After a few
repeated trials I've found that the keyboard will stop functioning after
about 5 seconds from when the login prompt appears on the screen.

Does anyone have any ideas on this problem?

How old a system and keyboard are we talking here? Are we talking AT
style keyboard, ps/2 keyboard, usb keyboard on an old system (where
bios usb handling can cause this sort of confusion) etc. Give us an
idea of what we're working with.
