I also see some garbage data during BIOS and PCI option roms when I use SOL with various BMCs. On some systems the BIOS console redirection actually has a hardware flow control setting and that made it go away, on other systems no such option exists.

Hi,
I'm using ipmitool (tested 1.8.6 and 1.8.8, and looked at CVS for relevant
changes) to talk to a supermicro BMC2 board (with the last RMCP+ firmware
available from vendor). SOL works, but if I type characters too fast,
some of them are duplicated: for example I type boot and I end up with
booottt (the first char is never duplicated). I added debug code to the
SOL and lanplus code, and couldn't find a place where the characters are
sent twice (ipmi_lanplus_send_sol() gets the rifgt string, and it's not the
"chars_to_resend" loop in ipmi_lanplus_send_sol() that cause this).
If I type slowly, leaving about half a second between chars, I don't have
the issue.
Did someone else notice this, with different hardware ? Any idea where to
look at ?
Another issue is that while the 3ware 9550 BIOS screen is displayed I
get a lot of garbage, coming in packets of about 60 chars every few 100s of
milliseconds. But this may not be ipmitool's fault, although I don't have
this when using console redirection to com0 with a serial terminal, instead of
the IPMI card.
