ive never setup a carpc but have done plenty of home PC's in my time. On booting the system up it worked fine until it states Keyboard Error when checking for the PS2 periphrals after the memory count.
For some reason i can not put my finger on why it will not detect my PS2 port, ive treid several keyboards and still nothing...

Im wondering if the motherboards PS2 ports is buggered for some reason - can't see it though as its all brand new from LinITX.

Any help or sugestions would be great!

Thanks in advance

First , do you have a PS2 keyboard connected?
Second, did you go into the BIOS and set it not to halt on errors?

Hiya,

Yes a PS2 keyboard is connected, but the system doesn't seem to find that it is conected. And without a keyboard working i can't get into Bios :-/

Have you tried a USB keyboard?

I haven't actually. Only one i have is a crappy wireless one which only works with drivers. I'll see if i can source one tonight, and will see
