Well, even more odd, when I did the Gentoo install, I did it from Gentoo media. I rarely use sysrescue because it is so outdated. What I don't get, why it didn't work this time but did last time during the install. I had to set the password and such when I did the install before I could ssh in. So at that point, the keyboard had to be working. It didn't this time tho. That's odd. I was kinda thinking the memory stick going bad may have messed up something. Turns out, I guess the memory stick going bad had nothing to do with it. I'm going to update the Gentoo images on my Ventoy stick. Maybe I got a bad one or something. :/ Dale :-) :-)
