XenServer 6.5 keyboard not working on Dell R900 and R710 during install.
-
I have tried multiple times to install the ISO image of 6.5 on both my Dell R900 and R710 with one big issue, I cant use the keyboard no matter what... I have tried everything from BIOS USB changes to using a completely different keyboard. Any ideas?
-
I am guessing that you only have iDRAC Basic eliminating that as a potential workaround?

Yep, these server were bought used from savemyserver.com. I'm sad

@christophergault I recently purchased a used R710 and was able to install XenServer using a USB keyboard without any issues. I'm using a very basic inexpensive standard keyboard. Maybe try different ports and/or an additional keyboard differing from those you have previously tried?
-
@RamblingBiped I have tried that many times, maybe the build was updated recently to fix this issue...

You can add that later, it is just a license. But for used, older servers, it is a little expensive.

Definitely use the latest build for the best results. The installer should be running from CentOS, so the issue would likely be there.
