Suprise ! the countown DID count down and boot the default entry ! :) Iafter that, I connected another keyboard, and restarted the computer. Surprise again, the countdown showed up again and worked perfectly. Conclusion? in my case, maybe a faulty keyboard or combination of faulty keyboard / broken bios... Hope it helps ! |
