Hi,
We have a number of SuperMicro based systems (e.g. an X8DTL-IF) - this is
running the latest BIOS (2.1a) - and the latest (supplied by SuperMicro)
IPMI firmware - 2.44. We're using FreeBSD 9.0-R amd64.
When using the LAN KVM keyboard (IPMI) - it works for the BIOS (as you'd
expect) - it works for the Beastie boot menu prompt, and it works for when
the O/S is booted.
However, it doesn't work if the boot fails, e.g. if you get stuck at:
mountroot>
I've tried changing a few things in the BIOS (such as EHCI handoff, legacy
port 60/64 support, legacy USB support) - but nothing I change in there
makes any difference.
Once the kernel is loading you see:
"
ugen1.2: <Winbond Electronics Corp> at usbus1
ums0: <Winbond Electronics Corp Hermon hidmouse Device, class 0/0, rev
1.10/0.01, addr 2> on usbus1
ums0: 3 buttons and [Z] coordinates ID=0
ukbd0: <Winbond Electronics Corp Hermon USB hidmouse Device, class 0/0, rev
1.10/0.01, addr 2?> on usbus1
kbd2 at ukbd0
"
I've tried with a PS2 keyboard attached, and removed from the physical
server - but it doesn't change anything.
We have notes here for FreeBSD 8 to recompile the kernel with:
nodevice ums
To fix a previous KVM issue with SuperMicro - but this doesn't fix the
above issue.
Any clues on how I can fix / troubleshoot this further? The keyboard does
work at the Beastie boot menu, and again once the O/S is loaded - but
obviously having it work when the kernel has failed to load, would be handy
:)
Thanks,
-Karl
