Just a quick followup, I've confirmed that even with my BIOS configured correctly (don't probe for a keyboard) GRUB will wedge and not boot my OS unless I have one plugged in. LILO on the other hand works just fine (well as fine as LILO ever works anyway). Upon booting on the VGA console (when I add one) I see: GRUB Loading stage1.5. GRUB loading, please wait... and there it sits until I attach a keyboard and reboot. During that time nothing ever appears on the serial console. My config is: --8<-- # grub config (info grub) serial --speed=115200 terminal --timeout=0 serial default 0 timeout 10 title GNU/Linux kernel (hd0,0)/boot/vmlinuz root=/dev/sda1 console=ttyS0,115200n8 title GNU/Linux (Old Kernel) kernel (hd0,0)/boot/vmlinuz.old root=/dev/sda1 console=ttyS0,115200n8 title GNU/Linux (single-user) kernel (hd0,0)/boot/vmlinuz single root=/dev/sda1 console=ttyS0,115200n8 --8<-- My root partition is ext2fs.
