When I try to install RedHat 9, everything goes smoothly until I reach the page where it asks me if I want to perform a media check. When I get to that page, my keyboard stops responding, so I can't select anything and continue with the installation. Does anyone know what the problem could be?

Bad media. I dont use the media check; I use the md5sums. Go back to the server you got RH 9 from and get the md5sums.
If you dont have a way to check them, you can get help here:

If these are Retail CDs, them take them back for exchange.
Personally, I would forget RH 9 and use Fedora Core 2.
