I have a set of systems that I have to build that cannot be booted from CD. So I put the drive in another system, do the install, move the drive, and fix the video with system-config-display. But seems perhaps there is another (small) problem. The build system has a PS/2 keyboard interface (and mouse). The target system has NO PS/2 interfaces. Only USB is available. So at boot I get the message: atkbd.c: Failed to enable keyboard on isa0060/serio0 What do I do to remove this?

See if you can procure one (colleague, store, etc) . Times like these they really come in handy. You should also review the BIOS options for USB Emulation mode. If it is off, you should turn it on.

And I get this message when I have one plugged into the unit and the adapter plugged into my old PS/2 based KVM.> You should also review the BIOS options for USB Emulation mode.

There is no intention that in production, the units will have a keyboard or mouse. All management will be done via some remote console program (using VNC for right now). But I have to do the install on a PS/2 based system. Would like to cut out what is not needed....
