If your MB uses award BIOS, then set
HangOn to NoError and try.

If you have set that, then try to update your BIOS!

a keyboard. I've told BIOS to ignore checking for the keyboard, and the grub
bootloader starts then starts to load linux but then linux just hangs. I've
heard about using keyboard dongles or even plugging a mouse into the
keyboard socket to make it work, but surely there is a better alternative,
somewhere in the configuration.
