I tried to SSH into the box but I was unable to connect.  I've also
attempted to locate information on the BIOS but I've been unable to
locate any information on the company (via Google).  I went back and
reinstalled the OS just to make sure that the install was good and I
have the same problem.  I'm kinda at a loss here.  I don't think it is
the software but I don't know what the problem could be with the
keyboard working up until about five seconds after the login prompt pops
up on the screen.

When you say the login prompt, are we talking the X login screen, or
the mingetty login prompt (i.e. the CLI login presented at runlevel 3
?).

If it's the X login, try hitting CTRL-ALT-1 to swtich to a non-graphical login.

If you're still stuck and you still think it's the keyboard, you could
try booting the machine with neither keyboard nor mouse then reattempt
the SSH login from a remote host.

Failing *that* too try booting into rescue mode from a CD and see what
happens then.

Once you're in I'd check /var/log/messages (or /mnt/sysimage) for any weirdness.

Will.
