keyboard freezing while installing fedora


I have just attempted to install Fedora Core 4 Test 2 on my machine and I hit a snag very early in the process. I noticed that my usb keyboard and usb mouse didn't work, so I couldn't choose any of the options (I get stuck at the screen asking if I want to check the CD media.) I decided to reboot and used the "linux noprobe" option to see if I could get my keyboard or mouse to work; the mouse functioned normally but the keyboard still wouldn't work. I have no idea if there's anything else I could try...

dell 9100 D processor 2.8 ghz
512MB memory
1st hard drive (150gb) sata drive
2nd hard drive (180gb) sata also

NB I CAN'T USE A USB-PS2 ADAPTER MY COMPUTER DOESN'T HAVE THIS PORT FOR BOTH MOUSE AND KEYBOARD
