I have enabled default settings considering them best, so (as far as I remember): Console Redirection [Serial Port B] Flow Control [None] Baud Rate [115.2k] Terminal Type [VT-100+] Legacy OS Redirection ? - don't rembember Following these BIOS default settings I've set up the same speed in system bootloader (grub): kernel /boot/xen.gz-2.6.18-53.1.14.el5 com2=115200,8n1 console=com2,vga module /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.18-53.1.14.el5xen xencons=ttyS1 console=tty console=ttyS1,115200n8 and that's why I've set 111.2k also for SOL. > > # pstree |tail -n5 # <-- layout is ok > > # pstre # <--- lyout is broken and hardly readable > Does the BMC hang when outputting lots of data like this?

As far as I remember all 3 hangs happend about the moment when "bios console redirection" is passing the ball to "system console redirection". > Slow the redirection rate down to 19.2 and see if it hangs then. > Please > let me know if that works. Ok, I'll try (on Monday - I'd rather be close to the machine while doing this) to slow down bios and sol speed. I suppose I should slow down bootloader/kernel settings also, shoudn't I? What about "Legacy OS Redirection"? Is that relevant? (RHEL) Is PC-ANSI terminal required, or somehow better the VT-100(+)? -- Tomek ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by the 2008 JavaOne(SM) Conference Don't miss this year's exciting event.
