[TriLUG] Motherboard/Ubuntu issue

[Mark Freeze]

Hi Alan,
The fix worked!   We reinstalled Server and booted/re-booted multiple
times with no problems.

Another problem that we are having that may be related is that we have
a SCSI card within the same system that appears to be functioning
normally, however, upon boot, when we try to go into the configuration
utility, the card will no longer accept keyboard input.  Otherwise the
card works fine.  The system sees it, it works, but we just can't
alter the configuration because we cant move from field to field with
the keyboard

Have you ( or anyone else) heard of this type of problem?

Thanks,
Mark.
