Wierd booting problem.

[boblu]

If I start my server with monitor or keyboard attached, it can boot normally every time.

However, If I start my server without any peripheral hardware, it will just keep restarting without entering module loading stage.(I know this because sometimes even if I attach the monitor, the same problem happens, so I can see where the boot process exactly stops)

And I can have the server reboot successfully every time with or without peripheral hardware.

Did any one ever have a similar problem?
Is this have something to do with the kernel itself?

Have you checked /var/log/messages for errors?
Boot your server without peripherals. Switch it off and boot again with monitor and kbd. Then check the log for errors. aybe you get a hint what causes the problem.

thank you for replying.

Yes, I have checked the /var/log/message file.

But, unfortunately, the boot process had not gone to the step for logging any messages, so I cannot find any clue there.

Any ideas?
