I can't help but wonder if these kinds of servers only tested in setups with KVM switches. One thing I kept reading about was how people have several servers hooked up to these, so maybe these types of servers often simply aren't tested without a keyboard. > Go in ti the bios settings, and see if there's something about > keyboards.

Actually, if you search on > that message, you might find something ... Yeah, that was the first thing I tried, but there are no such settings. Though I never thought to try disabling the USB ports. *tries it out now* Nope, I had set it to "Disable all unused ports", but that didn't change anything. Neither did deactivating the serial port. That makes the issue much weirder in my eyes, since it's clearly intended to be able to boot the server without any USB devices attached. > Cheers, > Wol Greetings -- Marc Joliet -- "People who think they know everything really annoy those of us who know we don't" - Bjarne Stroustrup --nextPart2492636.PqX87iTSdZ Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: This is a digitally signed message part.
