Black screen instead of petitboot menu with AST (no GPU installed)
FlyingBlackbird:
EDIT: This post is irrelevant - it is the result of trying to use an NVIDIA card + disabling AST via the jumper but forgetting to remove the jumper again later

Ethernet is connected next to the USB ports?
Did you also try to switch off the PSU for two minutes? And then power on again.

I have connected the correct Net3 adapter (above the USB port) and can see the IP address in my router (MAC address is correct).
I did already switched off the PSU for longer (at least 15 minutes) - last resort is no to completely unplug it.
I have attached a picture of the petitboot screen (keyboard does not work - not even in different USB ports - but works on another computer).
MPC7500:
About the keyboard, take a look at this thread.
Maybe did you blacklist the AST?

The image shown is a classic symptom of the VGA disable jumper still installed. Please triple check the correct jumper was removed, and power cycle (pull power from the wall and wait for all lights to extinguish) if the problem persists.

Thanks for reminding me :-)
In fact the system is having the problems as described in the first posts, I have just tried to use the NVIDIA video card to bring back petitboot and forgotten to remove the jumper again so my last post with the picture is misleading - I will edit and mark it as irrelevant to my problem...
I have removed the jumper and the darkness is back again (black screen after the progress bar has finished)

I have my wireless mouse & keyboard connected to the internal USB2 port on my Talos II with a USB extension cord to a powered hub. (The hub is not required.)
Just FYI, not suggested as a cure. :-X
