-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, I am having trouble with one Dell system and pxelinux: The keyboard does not properly work. The computer boots, I press F12 to select the boot device, then I select the network card. Up to that point the keyboard works fine. Then pxelinux is booted, and I use menu.c32 to display a menu (or vesamenu.c32 - same result). Now the keyboard does not work anymore ... This is a Dell OptiPlex GX620 (with an USB keyboard). The problem only occurs with the latest BIOS, A11. I have tried both A07 (factory installed) and A10 - both work fine. On the Dell homepage I found the following information about this BIOS version: "Improve OROM shadowing into BIOS" Could this be a pxelinux problem or do you (too) think that this is Dell's problem?

Can you report this problem to Dell? -hpa
