      Hi

      Since version 2.2, I can't run without graphics card, before it was no problem to install and then remove the graphics card to save power.
      Does anyone know how I can solve this problem?

        How about some details on hardware and what error you are seeing? I've installed 2.2.x on a bunch of boxes without video cards.

            nothing's changed in that regard. Majority of the hardware we sell doesn't have a video card, serial console only. You will want to enable the serial console so you have some means of connecting.

              Since you say you remove the graphics card that would imply a desktop or workstation type motherboard. If so check your BIOS to see if it's set to halt on all errors at boot and if so change it to none. I had to do this on my motherboard that wouldn't boot without a keyboard and mouse attached.
