So I've got the new iPC DVD, patched with both PPF's, proper md5. Disc burned successfully. Neither a PS/2 mouse nor a PS/2 keyboard will work during setup or after setup. My mouse is normally USB, but I put a PS/2 adapter on it to see if that would make the keyboard work. No dice (the mouse works fine as USB). I've installed twice now, with each PS/2 kext selected. Again, no dice. What can I do to make this work short of buying a USB keyboard?

Hm, I've got the A8N-SLI Premium and I have no problems after installing the PS/2 drivers. Try disabling 'USB Legacy Support' in BIOS, that may help.
