[g4u-help] Dell Optiplex 320

[c***@arnoldclark.co.uk]

Just popping a quick mail into the list. Quickly searched the archives and
couldn't find a fix. I just recieved my first shipment of Optiplex 320s as the
210Ls are now end of life. I couldn't get G4U to boot originally but have now
resolved my issue.

At first booting caused the system to hang while detecting the USB and still
does to be fair.

I have the machines booting with G4U 2.3. Boot the machine with keyboard only
attached to USB and select the boot method you wish to use. Now immediately
unplug the keyboard and let G4U boot. Now connect the keyboard again. You
should be good to go, I have replicated this a number of times.

I did not have to change any options in the BIOS and the SATA drive is also
detected which is always a bonus.

Thanks for the description - I hope to remember it the question comes up
again (I thought we already had it a few times, but I tend to forget, not
owning the hardware).
