That's not what i'm searching for. I do not need the serial console nor the keyboard. I prefer using ssh. The problem is that i can't reboot the system from remote when there is no keyboard. I'm searching for something like a normal award bios has... 'halt on no errors' or something like that. But it it looks as if there is no option in the boot rom. regards Jens
