Subject:   Keyboard detection broken on Compaq Proliant DL320

Hi,

I have noticed that keyboard detection seems to be broken
on Compaq Proliant DL320 machines.  It _always_ detects a
keyboard, even if none is connected, and tries to boot with
VGA/kbd as the console instead of serial.  This is pretty
bad, because the DL320 are 1U rack servers, meant to be run
headless.  It's impossible to install these machines from
CD-ROM with a terminal server.  :-(

Can anybody confirm that problem?  Did I overlook any
essential setting in the BIOS setup, maybe?

Regards
   Oliver

PS:  I tried 4.6-Release as well as a 4-stable snapshot of
last week.  Same behaviour.
