So what works for one part of the install may fail later on. I've only used SL4.4 with laptop builtins, and also with a PS/2 keyboard and mouse on a desktop mobo, no server boards or USB peripherals. Myself, I would diddle the settings in the BIOS, and see if there is anything there that affects how SL4.4 interprets the peripherals. I would also try a different keyboard and mouse, just for grins. It /shouldn't/ matter, but unfortunately it sometimes does.
