[Udpcast] Fwd: optiplex 745 and keyboard problems

[Chad Brogan]

I finally figured out the problem.  Thanks to all those who responded.
 In case you're in the same boat, here are the details:

After discovering the cast-o-matic tool (absolutely brilliant), I got
the idea to put in some modprobe commands in the "commands to be
executed before the udpcast menu" box on the second cast-o-matic page.
 I put in the following commands:

modprobe uhci-hcd
modprobe ohci-hcd
modprobe usbkbd

I'm not sure which or if all of them fixed the problem, but I was then
able to use the keyboard when booting udpcast.

So far the software has worked great!  goodbye zenworks, hello udpcast.

I've done some googling and found a few posts which seemed to indicate
that udpcast shouldn't have problems working with a usb keyboard.
Nonetheless, when I boot a pc from the cd or pxe, the keyboard does
not work.  Where should I start in troubleshooting this problem?  I am
very much a linux noob, but if someone can get me started, I believe I
can stumble my way through it.  Thanks.
