Please confirm that you are able to enter the BIOS using the KVM & the usual keyboard shortcut key (ESC, f2, f10, whatever).
I don't have the kvm model to hand but it is an IOGEAR 4 port USB ... I have to have a second keyboard connected direct if I want to mess around with grub or something... while testing kernels. But once bootup reaches the login prompt the KVM is in the loop, and I can use the kvm connected keyboard.
Some (many?) BIOS have settings for support of USB keyboard, "HID" &/ or "legacy USB". If your KVM is connecting to the PC by USB then you may wish to check these.
Stroller.
