I have sucessfully been able to use SOL for my Supermicro ipmi cards (with versions below). However I have noticed something disturbing:
If I invoke 'sol activate' on a host that is listening on ttyS1, everything is good. However if I ever make a mistake and invoke sol on a host that hasn't been configured for serial console, ipmitool hangs and WILL NOT quit. No ^C, no ^Z, no escape keys, nothing. Actually the escape keys work for the first keypress, then somehow you get completely disconnected from the session. The only way I have been able to stop it is by directly killing the pid from another terminal. This freeze happens whenever the "remote side of the serial pipe" is broken: I can see the bios POST output (albeit very slowly and jerkily, even at 115.2k baud), but if a non-configured Linux boots, the ipmitool session hangs. I am using version 1.8.7. Has this been fixed in a future version? If not the hang, at least let us kill it with a ^C.
