Is that relevant? (RHEL) Depends... I've got a system where when it's enabled the system (not BMC) hangs when GRUB loads. When I turn Legacy Redirection off and let GRUB have its own serial interface I don't have any problems. When I PXE boot the same system into DOS, avoiding GRUB, with Legacy OS Redirection enabled I have no problems.

I don't know why it's the default!? 19.2 - albeit painfully slow (at least for me) - works much better normally and under duress. > >I can not replicate BMC hangs now, but I suppose >repeating sol kill+establish-new tries might be my case. > >Please note I've had no idea there was a BMC 0.63 firmware. >That's because the latest BMC presented either for >OFU or for IDA CD is 0.62: >http://downloadcenter.intel.com/Detail_Desc.aspx?agr=N&ProductID=2451&D wnldID=1 >5426&strOSs=All&OSFullName=All >Operating Systems&lang=eng > >BMC 0.63 shows up only in DOS update software package >http://downloadcenter.intel.com/Detail_Desc.aspx?agr=N&ProductID=2451&D wnldID=1 >5840&strOSs=All&OSFullName=All >Operating Systems&lang=eng > >I'll upgrade to 0.63 today. >Thanks again to Eric and Andrew! > >-- >Tomek > > > >----------------------------------------------------------------------- -- >This SF.net email is sponsored by the 2008 JavaOne(SM) Conference >Don't miss this year's exciting event.
