Details:

if "Legacy USB" is not enabled, the KB is totally nonfunctional in the boot
menu.

if "Legacy USB" is enabled. some times the USB kb works fine.
Most of the times, when the first key pressed, the count down stops, and the
kb stops working.
i.e. press enter, the default OS will boot. press UP or DOWN, the menu
highlight moves 1 item. press ESC, the count down stops.

pull out and plug in the kb again, still not working.

the USB keyboard and mouse works fine under Linux and Windows.


GRUB 1.97.4 installed using apt, from Ubuntu repositories.
And, already added "TERMINAL_INPUT=usb usb_keyboard" in /etc/default/grub and
then update-grub2

hardware:
Suermicro P4SCT
Celeron 2.0GHz, 128k cache
