115.2 might be a bit too fast. What are the BIOS settings? Ideally the BIOS settings should look like: Console Redirection [Serial Port B] Flow Control [RTS/CTS] Baud Rate [19.2k] Terminal Type [PC-ANSI] Legacy OS Redirection [Enabled] >And that also seems to work well most of the time, >besides one problem that if more data goes through SOL, >the output get somehow broken, ie: ># pstree |tail -n5 # <-- layout is ok ># pstre # <--- lyout is broken and hardly readable Does the BMC hang when outputting lots of data like this? Or is it some time after? >Anyway, BMC hangs happend already 3 times to me. Not good. I'm sorry to hear that! >Every time it was while I've been booting system >and watching the bootloader/kernel output via SOL. Slow the redirection rate down to 19.2 and see if it hangs then. Please let me know if that works. >I have no idea what are the last SEL inputs because.. >BMC hangs :> and there's no way to check it out >(with any method). Well, if you have a USB keyfob you could boot to DOS and use the SEL Viewer utility to save it.

No. It's integrated into the baseboard and it gets its power from the standby voltage. The only way to power-cycle/reset the BMC is to completely remove AC power from the system. - Eric ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by the 2008 JavaOne(SM) Conference Don't miss this year's exciting event.
