Someone might know this, but I sure as hell can't figure it out.
I have 2 Abit Motherboards, an old socket 370, and a socket A AT7-MAX2 board.
For the life of me, I can't get these damn boards to boot without a video card, does anyone know if it can be done? I sent an email to Abit support, but the useless buggers never replied.
I have other boards - 2 Soltek KT600-R motherboards, on that particular board, you choose none for the option "boot display first", most boards only have 2 options, AGP and PCI, but soltek has another option "none" which stops it from producing an error if no card is present (video still works if a card is present)
I also have an old Asus socket 370 board and as long as you set it to halt on no errors it will boot fine.
The reason I'm asking is because I have a file server with remote desktop and have no use for the video card, would like to use it for something else, but I have to have it in the server since it won't boot without it.
My only other option is to rebuild 3 of my machines, swapping the Soltek for the Abit, a big muck around I would like to avoid.
