Hello ! I have not check your special case now, but under normal curcumstances, this boot problem is one of the BIOS not GRUB !
I often use GRUB on "headless" machines (without VGA and keyboard) and it works well ! The BIOS offers a setting like "Halt on no errors". Otherwise the BIOS stops booting the machine with error messages like "keyboard not present" or - in case of no VGA card - it stops with some audio signals. Try to setup the BIOS appropriate, configure GRUB to use the serial line, and everthing should work. BTW: we had problems with some Compaq PC not having a possibility to configure the BIOS to tolerate such missing components like keyboard and VGA. For testing, it is easier to test with installed VGA and removed keyboard. Then you can read the error messages. When you have a setup booting without keyboard, then the system will also boot without graphics card. Have a nice Xmas Christoph [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:
