It might be worth checking you are using the latest BIOS version. There may have been
keyboard mapping or fan related changes in a BIOS update.
For test purposes what happens if you boot up Fedora 10 from a CD or USB stick? Are any
other devices connected when you have the problem?

Subject: Laptop Keyboard asdf, jkl;, enter disabled on boot up
I have a very weird problem.
Compaq Presario F500. Only about a year old.
Recently (past few weeks), whenever I boot up, the following
keys are non responsive; asdfjkl; and the enter key.
If I wait a few minutes, like 3 or 4 minutes, they start
working. If I restart a couple of times, they start
working too, however, I think this is the same 3-4
minute delay.
It would appear to be a hardware problem (bad keyboard),
however, once the keys start working, I never have another
problem, until the next reboot.
Could there be some software issue here?
I really like the laptop, works well, I really don't
want to take it apart unless I have to.
Jim
