Is it addressed by the patch I posted earlier? (http://www.mail-archive.com/ipmitool-devel@lists.sourceforge.net/msg00031.html) It's also possible that the BMC firmware doesn't understand a retry packet if a packet is resent when the BMC received the first packet (i.e. the ack packet got dropped on the network). If you do ipmitool -C 0 and do the sol session in ethereal, you can look at the behavior at the time of failure. If using ipmitool-1.8.8 plus the patch above, and still see the behavior, I'd watch for an instance where the client sends a packet, sees no ack, and retries. Verify the retry has an incremented session sequence number, but the SOL sequence should be the same. If that is the case and the BMC still treats the two attempts as unique attempts rather than recognizing the retry, you have a BMC firmware bug.
