If I want to do anything early in boot process, like at grub prompt, I

If you can't access the BIOS using the KVM then the problem is

You might try checking BIOS options. Some BIOS have "legacy USB" modes
& suchlike. There is a standard for USB keyboards & mice - the BIOS
might mention "HID" (Human Interface Devices), which refers to these.
