    I have 5.4 installed on a 2 year old Dell D800 laptop and so far
    everything works perfectly except for my CDROM (which I'm beginning to
    think is failing anyway).

    You might want to check the boot messages and see what keyboard drivers
    it's loading, or connecting an external keyboard and seeing if that works.
