PS/2 keyboard sometimes not working when Windows 2000 is booted using Grub

[Markus Meyer]

Hello everyone!

I have Grub 0.90 installed to dual-boot Windows 2000 and Gentoo Linux.
Sometimes (maybe 1 out of 20 times) when I start up the computer, the
keyboard (it's a Cherry G81, PS/2) doesn't work on Windows 2000, SP3.
Apparently, no keys are received at all. Note that the keyboard works
fine in Grub before, because I have to press [Return] to start Windows.
If this problem occurs, the only solution is to switch off the computer
using the hard switch at the rear. Rebooting doesn't help. Before I had
Grub installed, I did not have this problem.

Might be that my keyboard has just gone faulty, but if anyone has an
idea this would be greatly appreciated.

Best regards


Markus
