and it doesn't change the fact that the option isn't there, but I do see
your point about the generic error message

there's no option for this in the bios, I checked before. so it looks like a
10k resistor between pins 3&4

Hey - my brand new Acer motherboard has a PS2 keyboard port and I'm
using a very nice PS2 keyboard with it. Mind you, it doesn't have to
see a PS2 keyboard for the bios to boot .

not strictly Ubuntu but would anybody be able to explain how the BIOS
detects PS/2 devices. I'm setting up a media center PC with no keyboard and
keep getting stuck with a 'no keyboard detected, press F1 to continue'
message, depending on how the devices are connected this *could* be as
