We don't have a KVM in our colo, and when our machines are booted, they don't have keyboards plugged in. However, when we have a problem with a machine, we need to plug a keyboard in. This is not recognised at all, and we have to powercycle the machine, with no way of trying to shut down cleanly. Is there a fix to this ? Regards, -- Wayne Pascoe
