Hello Andy, Personally I'd install a Dell Remote Access Card (DRAC card) in the machine. It gives you KVM, hardware reset and more. It costs a little, but I imagine that you can afford it if you can afford buying such a server :-)

There is no KVM capacity for it, so I have set it up with serial console support. Dell's console redirection works great at 115200 baud, and I've had no trouble with boot messages going to the tty at that speed either, but Grub refuses to work over the serial port at that speed. When I add the following lines to grub.conf: serial --unit=0 --speed=115200 --word=8 --parity=no terminal serial the system just sits there mute and I have to boot from the liveCD and disable the serial terminal option. Any suggestions about this, or do I need to break down and go back to lilo, which even though deprecated does work with high-speed serial connections.
