...'ve found out that it takes for the bootloader and OS an extra 1 second to load when keyboard is disconnected.I got from the BIOS engineer the following explanation and steps to take: In syslinux make sure that it doesn?t use the KBC at all. KBC functions will timeout when a KBC is not present. GATEA20 (address line A20 wrap around 8086 compatibility gate) must not be controlled by KBC as first option. No menu stuff or something needing keyboard should be used. The GATEA20 should be enabled as follows: 1) Test if A20 is already enabled. If enabled goto 7. 2) Do BIOS int 0x15 function 0x2401 to...

Hi Gene It took me some time to check all the things you've asked. Hope you still remember the case... 1) Compiling SYSLINUX with -j1 didn't help. The first error message I get is about missing header file. I'll try to play a little bit with it to make it compile. 2) The 3-character mode that the version/copyright banner displays is EDD. What determines the it? BIOS? What affect
