Hi,
this is going to be my new server, so there's no GUI, only text mode, and it
gets all the way to the login prompt, but the machine will not take keyboard
(USB, which is what I always used) input. As I was saying, I can see during
the bootup that the network cards are not started, but I can't tell why, so
I'm therefore also unable to access the machine per remote SSH.
Thanks for your ,
Robert
