    I have two dual-processor Xeon machines set up in a similar manner.
    Both have 4GB of main memory. Machine A utilizes an Intel MB. In order
    to take advantage of all the memory, the 64GB highmem option must be
    selected. If I select only the 4GB option, not quite all of the memory
    is used. Everything works fine on this machine.

    Machine B utilizes a Tyan MB. If I select the 4GB highmem option,
    everything works fine except not all the memory is available (only
    3616824K shows from "top"). Now if I try to select the 64GB highmem
    option similar to Machine A (after recompiling the kernel and trying to
    boot), the machine will not boot and the error message displayed to the
    console says "missing keyboard".

    I have a true ps/2 keyboard on both machines as well as ps/2 mouse.

    How can I correct this problem ? Will I need to change to a USB
    keyboard/mouse for this MB ?
