Can you check BIOS settings for EHCI handover? If the BIOS does not have handover enabled, it may disable legacy support after a timeout, which is often bad. IMO this is the same with booting off USB drives but every BIOS handles that different. > The keyboard works file in BIOS and for selecting boot device in boot0 > menu. It also works in loader menu.

That sound strange. I have no idea why that might work (or I'm totally wrong with my handover theory). > Weird... Yes, sounds like or it's probably easily explainable ;) Volker
