I've booted PS/2 systems without keyboards and plugged them in later, without any problem. 2.6 kernels even tell you you've just plugged a keyboard in. Maybe you're using a modular kernel and the relevant module isn't being loaded at boot if you haven't got a keyboard plugged in. Compare the output of 'lsmod' booting with and without a keyboard. If you get an extra module listed when you boot with a keyboard, add that module name to /etc/modules. -- Pigeon Be kind to pigeons Get my GPG key here: http://pgp.mit.edu:11371/pks/lookup?op=get&search=0x21C61F7F
