This might not be the issue here, but I think it is. Anyway, it is
probably NOT anything to do with Linux. I have had some old systems that
would not boot without a keyboard and tracing it down found that it was the
motherboard/bios/cmos, not the OS causing the problem. Some old boards
required that you had a keyboard attached. Check your CMOS and see if
there is a spot for "Stop On Errors" and change that.

My RH9 P3 systems fail to boot GRUB while the P4 systems boot without any
problems. When the P3 tries to boot, it hangs before the RedHat Linux
interactive setup at a line that says "apm: BIOS version 1.2 Flags 0x03
(Driver version 1.16)". If a keyboard is attached to the P3, it will boot
without issues but the system must boot without a keyboard. The P3 will
boot LILO without a keyboard attached. Any idea how to get GRUB to boot
without a keyboard on the P3's?
Thanks!
The grub-0.93-4 RPM is installed.
This is my grub.conf:
