Ubuntu 10 headless PC won't boot

[googlemad]

Our Ubuntu 10 FOG server will not boot fully unless a monitor is attached, so we can't remote in etc

 

Any ideas on how to resolve this?

 

Thanks

Have you tried using a converter Startech DVI To VGA Adapter F/M - Ebuyer or http://www.ebuyer.com/product/57627 I have to use one on my second card to enable seti to pick it up!

will not boot fully

 

Do you know how far it gets?

 

I had to change something in the bios settings for mine to boot headless.

 

Once it's past that initial stage Ubuntu Server edition is designed to run headless so I don't understand why it would need a monitor.
