DSL Tips and Tricks :: Damn Small Machine not booting

just to update... for some reason, the dsm didn't like the keyboard. i swapped it out for another one and everything worked fine. just changed the boot sequence in the bios and everything came right up.

artj12, I just saw this thread, I am glad it is working for you now. Out of the various configurations, USB booting tends to be the most fickle. One thing that I noticed is necessary is to have the USB pen plugged in when adjusting the bios. And if you pull the pen out you may have to set the bios again.
