Dear all,
first: yes, it's slightly off topic, but perhaps others have seen similar
effects.
I'm currently playing around with one more Mandrake 10.1 box as a server.
The machine is a Gigabyte GA-5AX with AMD K2-450 processor and an NVIDIA
GeForce2 DDR AGP vga card.
Everything works perfectly, except when re- / booting the machine without
monitor attached, which is usually done via telnet / ssh. Then the
annoying thing is, that in this case the machine hangs during BIOS
startup and it looks like the graphics card's BIOS declines going on when
it cannot find the monitor.
In the mainboard's BIOS there's no setting to 'bypass' this. The only
setting there that comes close to that is "halt on every / vga / no
errors" but it doesn't change the behaviour in this case.
It's the only one out of my (currently) 7 boxes
showing this
misbehaviour.
Any idea what could be wrong?
Best regards,
Markus
