Hi,
I'm sortof supprised that nobody has commented on this.  I personally 
haven't had any problems with KVM's.

So, my first thing to test would be to see if it sees the keyboard if 
you do just a text startup.
At the grub screen, hit 'e' for edit, go down to highlight the line that 
starts with kernel, then 'e' for edit again.  Remove 'rhgb' out of the 
line, then his 'Enter', which brings you back.  Then hit 'b' to boot.

You might also want to try single user mode, which is the same 
instructions but also put 'single' on the same line you took rhgb off of.

Troy
