I have a feeling someone else faced a similar problem somehwat recently (say in the last 6-12 months) and there was a boot parameter that sorted it for them. I'm afraid I don't remember details. The closest I have personally come to this is finding a Bluetooth keyboard not working at that stage, but a wired USB keyboard did work. That was a release or two of Jessie ago. I'd suggest that Google will make short work of searching the archives of this list to find the answer. Mark
