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?
This is a known problem with some motherboard/bios combinations. What you need to do is turn off APM in the kernel. Modify all of the kernel lines in grub.conf to add apm=off, like so:
kernel /vmlinuz-2.4.20-30.9smp ro root=LABEL=/ apm=off
