FYI:
In the meantime I had the chance to test this box with a different AGP
graphics card and - guess? - with this brand / model (Elsa) rebooting the
machine without monitor attached _DOES_ work now.
As I already suspected, this was just a strange behaviour of the VGA card
to block booting when no monitor is found.
If you ever have weird problems like this, then, as a first attempt, try
to switch to a different graphics card.
Best regards,
Markus
Quote: I'm currently playing around with one more Mandrake 10.1
box as a server.
The machine is a Gigabyte GA-5AX with AMD K2-450 processor
and an NVIDIA GeForce2 DDR AGP vga card.
Everything works perfectly, except when re- / booting the
machine without monitor attached, which is usually done via
telnet / ssh. Then the annoying thing is, that in this case
the machine hangs during BIOS startup and it looks like the
graphics card's BIOS declines going on when it cannot find
the monitor.
In the mainboard's BIOS there's no setting to 'bypass' this.
The only setting there that comes close to that is "halt on
every / vga / no errors" but it doesn't change the behaviour
in this case.
