I have a server I'm trying to configure, consisting of an old PC with Ubuntu 24.04. I'm posting under this section since the problem does not seem to be OS-related.
Everything works fine with the gpu installed. Initially, I had to modify grub slightly to allow for no menu selection after power less, as otherwise with the gpu removed and no keyboard connected a permanent grub menu appeared and the system would remain forever stuck there. That problem was solved with a grub option. A different but similar one has appeared: when I remove the gpu, the system boots once afterward (I can ssh into it), and then never again until I reinstall the gpu. Also doesn't respond to wake on lan from the off state (normally does). Not ping-able either. Presence or absence of a keyboard makes no difference, and pressing enter on an attached keyboard does not do anything (waited a long time to make sure).
Has anyone experienced anything like this? This is a server, so preferable to operate without the gpu installed. Also, this might be more Ubuntu-specific, but if anyone knows where I can find any logs, assuming any are created for a failed boot, I'd really appreciate it.
