I have an old PC where the on-board USB ports are both dead. I have fitted a PCI usb card with 3 USB ports. The PC is connected to a KVM which connects to the PC via USB (as well as a VGA connector). The PCI USB card works 99% of the time, the 1% it does not is during the grub boot up where I get to select the bios, OS or Kernel etc. I guess the card has not been initialised as I don't have a working keyboard, I have a working keyboard by the time I get to the gui login While this is not an issue for 99% of the time it will be an issue if I need to select bios or a different OS\kernel\memtest at any time. Other than fitting a PS2 keyboard, is there an easy way to over come this issue?
