Which kernel version are we taking here, ? i have a normaly
configured machine running 2.0.36 also wihtout a keyboard and in
addtion without a video card as well, i do not get any of these
messages, i have also tryed other kernels, higher and lower, never
seen a problem.
Could it be the person with the problem is not telling his BIOS to
ignore the keyboard on boot up.. ????
Doing so should keep linux happy.
If the above has not been tryed i would recommend trying ang sending
the results here, i for one am intersested to see an answer and used
kernel version.
