ut2211 Posted January 21, 2006 Share Posted January 21, 2006 I have two computers. One, with Intel d915gux motherboard, works perfectly with the boot loader and the USB keyboard. The other, with another motherboard brand and 865chipset, has exactly the same behavior as yours. I have connected two keyboads to this PC , one USB and the other PS2, and I have found that the PS2 keyboard is needed only in the first options. Then, when you can select the other options, the USB keyboard is working. I have found no difference in enabling or not the USB keyboard in BIOS.
