Hi,

I have an Abit IP35 motherboard.

Whilst the keyboard works so I can enter the BIOS, if Windows crashes and it gives you the 25 secs to choose which option to boot (safe mode, normal etc) my keyboard doesn't work.

Similarly, when GRUB boots for linux I cannot choose a Kernel to boot.

So, whenever this happens currently I am having to plug in an old PS2 keyboard which is annoying.

Is there an option in the BIOS to make this work ? because for the life of me I can't see it.

I never had this problem before with the last few boards I've had. Thought they fixed that years ago.
 
Weird... Most new boards I've seen lately come with BIOS-controlled USB by default. Good to know it's not standard and to look out for it I guess :)
