Do you have console redirection to a serial port set up in the BIOS? If you are using grub to boot the machine, that will have to be configured to use the serial port (if required) and if you want to log in over SOL, then the system will need to be running getty (or similar) on that serial port (assuming you are running Linux or similar) A google for "dell ipmi console redirection" gives lots of pointers James Pearson ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ _______________________________________________ Ipmitool-devel mailing list Ipmitool-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/ipmitool-devel
