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. -- Oliver Fromme, secnetix GmbH & Co KG, Oettingenstr. 2, 80538 München Any opinions expressed in this message may be personal to the author and may not necessarily reflect the opinions of secnetix in any way.
