Are you sure you have the mouse and keyboard plugged in their correct
jacks?


Being colour-coded, correct PS/2 jacks are easily verified
(KB purple, mouse green, but mine is actually a USB mouse.)

M52 now boots OK with extra RAM (total 3 Gb)
but with two delays:
Error 0164 memory size
Error .61 Media test failure; check cable.
and then boots OK. Can I bypass these by some
BIOS adjustment?




For the memory error you need to OK and save the memory size change

for the PXE error, in the bios you need to remove the network boot
option or else place it lower in your boot device priority
