no keyboard after reboot on ML 370 G3

I've just install WIndows 2000 Server
on a ML 370 G3 server.

When I "restart" Windows,
all keys on the keyboard do not works, even Ctrl+Alt+Del!
However, when I "Shut down" Windows
and then start it (by pressing the power button),
the keyboard works!

I changed the keyboard to another model, but it didn't help.

What should I try to make the keyboard work
after reboot, no only after shutdown?

Check to make sure you do not have the keyboard and mouse cable swapped.

I've checked - the cables are correct.

Recently I booted from a Windows XP PE CD, mouse and keyboard worked OK.
I did "Start"-Studown-Restart.
The ML370 rebooted, and - keyboard doesn't work again,
for example Pause and Num Lock don't work during the boot process.
Than, when Windows PE CD started - the keyboard also didn't work.
Again, only after power off and power on the keyboard began to work.

Also I tried to boot from FreeBSD 5.2 CD - the same behavior!

So, this strange bug it is not OS-dependant.
I have no ideas...

this sounds like a flakey hardware component to me. Contact HP and have them
send you a new systemboard.

Arrrgh!!
Now I think it's a KVM-switch-related problem!
It occures only when I use my KVM Switch (AESP Signamax 098-8080).
When I connect the keyboard directly - no problems!

Did you try other ports in the switch?
- NuTs

Why say that??? We use a Belkin 8-port with no problems at all...

Belkin might be ok if your network is at home. I have replaced more belkin
KVM switches in production environments that I can remember.

I agree with Nutcracker on Belkin products.

I'm getting ready to sell a new Apex Outlook 180DX. in the (open) box. cheap
That's an 8 port onscreen display. If interested.... We use several Outlooks
in our system and never had the first problem. Also have some used 6 foot
Raritan kvm cables like new shape.

Sorry, not spamming the board, was just compiling a list of stuff we are
getting rid of when I saw the post.
