Anyone has other options?=20 There seems to be an odd interaction with the 4.4 keyboard probe and some BIOS versions. If you use the keyboard (say, to select the floppy as a boot device) the system will detect the keyboard. Otherwise, it doesn't and boots to the serial console. I haven't had any problems with current and 4.3 worked as well. I think a BIOS upgrade helped, but I can't remember for sure since current didn't have problems. -- Brooks --=20 Any statement of the form "X is the one, true Y" is FALSE.
