Sun Blade 1000 keyboard not detected.

Hello,

I have a sun blade 1000 machine, it passes post, has 2 750mhz sparc 3 cpus and has 4GB of ram.

I have setup a TIP connection and did everything i could to figure what the hell is going on, but I cannot it seems to me that the usb ports are not giving out any power.

I've tried all sorts of keyboard, sun type 6, type 7 and various pc keyboards, all USB.

When the machine powers on, I have a keyboard plugged in, but no LED on the keyboard lights up, also, no led on the optical mouse lights up either.

This tells me that something on board is failed. However, the machine passes POST... how can that be?

Any ideas why the USB ports seem dead?

-----------------------------------

Update, using the tty console I got it booting to solaris 9, however, still no power to the USB/NIC/FIREWIRE ports... what is going on?
