setting up a server in a closet ?

All,

The system is fc6. I would like to set it up in a closet without a keyboard, mouse, or monitor. Once the system is booted it will run w/o these. However it fails to boot.

How can fc6 be configured to boot w/o kvm attached?

MMMmmmm...you is it an old machine? Some old motherboards have to have a keyboard installed in order to boot. You might try attaching one and powering it on to see what happens.

You also might be able to disable the keyboard in the BIOS.

I'd agree, usually these older machine will fail when a keyboard or monitor are not hooked up, you can sometimes disable this to fail upon boot from the BIOS. If not an option, just keep an older keyboard attached, etc..

Thanks for the tip.

Tucked in the lower left corner of one of the BIOS config screens was a reference to errors. Low and behold setting this from all to none worked.
