[RESOLVED] USB keyboard problem

[krtxmrtz]

I have just bought a USB keyboard to susbstitute a PS2 kb in a Win98 computer.

After installing the drivers the kb worked fine, but then every time I reboot the computer I get this error before Windows is loaded: "Keyboard error or no keyboard". But if I connect the PS2 kb again plus the USB kb and reboot and then unplug the PS2 kb after it has been detected, the USB kb works normally.

So it looks like the system tries to detect the PS2 kb before the USB kb. How can I avoid this or invert it?

Somewhere in the BIOS there will be an option for PS/2... might be an idea to disable it... Or, tell it not to wait on errors, but instead to continue

For now I've set the option "wait on all errors but kb" and I'm quite happy with it. However I'd like to disble the PS2 option. I found an option for a mouse PS2 but not for the keyboard. Is it disguised under some fancy name?

Nope, never usually is under some funky name, but setting it as all but KB is the best thing you can do really.

Props.
