FWIIW, The first link to marc is my post about a dual PIII Xeon. I don't think the problem is from a BIOS problem since the keyboard worked fine with the /bsd image. It only stopped responding after I booted using the /bsd.mp image. As I mentioned in my post, there may be a problem with the motherboard since I noticed some problems/flakiness with the CDRom drive as well during installation procedure. I do recall that after another reboot the keyboard did start to work once again. Since then I have removed the installed video and sound cards from this server. Hence, no keyboard is attached at the moment either. Since I suspect something might be wrong with mobo, I didn't go further with testing/trouble-shooting it. --patrick Tired of spam? Yahoo!
