Tryed with 2 other keyboards: same result. Removed partially the main board and replugged the keyboard to test if any contact was made to the frame, without any result. This is what AWARD/PHOENIX suggest : "KEYBOARD ERROR OR NO KEYBOARD PRESENT Cannot initialize the keyboard. Make sure the keyboard is attached correctly and no keys are being pressed during the boot." - Here my keyboard is right and no keys are pressed ! "If you are purposely configuring the system without a keyboard, set the error halt condition in Setup to HALT ON ALL, BUT KEYBOARD. This will cause the BIOS to ignore the missing keyboard and continue the boot." - Crazy. How can I set this when the bios stops with the above error ? mess-mate | | ----- Original Message ----- | From: "Joyce, Matthew" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> | To: "debian-en" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> | Sent: Wednesday, October 30, 2002 11:08 PM | Subject: RE: for tecnical linux users | | | > It's not something simple like the mouse/keyboard is plugged in the | wrong | > way round ? | > | > Matt | > | > | > > -----Original Message----- | > > From: messmate [mailto:messmate@;tiscali.fr] | > > Sent: Wednesday, 30 October 2002 7:54 PM | > > To: debian-en | > > Subject: for tecnical linux users | > > | > > | > > Hi experts, | > > I have a little pb with un update I made of my BIOS. | > > Bios is a AWARD and did a flash update, after that I get | > > always the error : | > > | > > 'Keyboard error or keyboard not connected'. | > > | > > When looking at the site of award (phoenix) the say : | > > 'Look that a key is not pressed or connect the keybord' | > > | > > But : | > > 1. a key is not pressed | > > 2. the keyboard is connected.
