Am I the only person who can't get ip35 to post with a Mac USB keyboard present?

It's truly bizzarre. No matter what I set in the BIOS (ignore all errors, all but keyboard, USB keyboard by OS/BIOS, whatever), if I have the mac keyboard plugged in (directly, to the KVM, to the screen plugged into the KVM) the IP35 craps out just after CPU detection and just sits there wanting me to press Del but not recognising any input. The only way I can get the damn thing to post is to plug in a PS2 keyboard (wohoo, it's back to the 20th century) or to switch the KVM to one of the other machines, power on, let if finish POST/BOOT and then switch back.

Installing latest BIOS, made no difference

I though mac keyboards were only compatible with mac's.

Nah, they're just bog-standard USB keyboards in disguise - a few keys are labelled differently, and there are a couple more function/media keys and whatnot but they work fine, no different from plugging a German Dell keyboard into a UK HP or whatever. Used it to finish Episode 2 and get a good way through COD4 yesterday (once I'd switched across to the Mac and waited for the PC to finish booting ,that is).

is it an issue with all USB keyboards or just the Mac keyboard. It might be some legacy device BIOS option that needs to be enabled?

Unfortunately I only have the one USB keyboard at home, so I can't check with others. I get the problem with both the managed by OS and managed by BIOS options switched on. Anyhow, switching across to one of the other KVM ports while it boots worked well enough for me to finish COD4 and Crysis in 3 days over the break period, so it's working well enough to be going on with
