gigabyte GA X38 DS5 mobo - IDE issues

[xirokx]

hi there,

I have a gigabyte GA X38 DS5 mobo to which I have connected 1 x IDE hdd and 1 x IDE DVD RW

Initially both IDE drives were not detected in the BIOS so I removed the jumpers on both and now they are detected.

However now my keyboard is not being detected so I am unable to press any key to boot from DVD drove..they keyboard works in the first post screen so I can access the BIOS but on the second screen when I have to press a key the keyboard deactivates and doesnt work...

If I connect only a single IDE drive for example remove the HDD drive then the keyboard will remain active

I have never experienced this, whats this about?

Any ideas how I can fix it?

Thanks

have you tried setting the jumpers on the ide drives to cable select ?
is it a ps2 or usb keyboard ?
