FC 5 : Keyboard runs crazy

Hello, help needed :

I'm trying to install FC 5 (CDs Bordeau) as dual boot with XP on an Amd K6, 256 RAM.
As soon as the graphical screen starts, the keyboard keeps repeating the letter : I type 'ab' and it displays 'aaaaaaaaaabbbbbbbbbbbb'. Impossible to master the thing.
I tried several keyboards, all in ps/2, none works better (I mean the physical keyboard).
My language is French, but I tried several keyboard declarations, also USA Intern., nothing changes. Impossible to change the label "Other" to "WIndows" for Grub, just as impossible to type a root password.

By the way, I also tried to change the typematic range in the bios, it's also useless.

Worse, I tried a "Linux text" install and it freezes after package selection, when I say freezes, I mean of course more than 20 minutes, so it's not package dependance check.
Otherwise, in text mode, the keyboard works perfectly (my setting should be BE-Latin1).

I suspect there's a hardware incompatibility somewhere, but what ?
