Yes. It is Bad Axe 2.
I need to have Legacy Usb on, so I can use the Grub boot manager and still have a working keyboard.
If I am using a USB keyboard that is.
I am on a cheap PS2 keyboard currently.
How about Razer ? Anyone try the Razer or the new Microsoft keyboard made by Razer ?

I think after all this time I have figured out my hang beep problem on booting some times. It is my Merc gamming keyboard ](*,) So far if I turn off Legacy USB support it works, but I have no keyboard in Grub :cry: I run Linux and XP. Now I have a cheap PS2 keyboard plugged in. Does anyone know of a...
