I now configured grub to use the serial port and the kernel to have a console on both vga and serial. grub itself doesn't support enabling rtscts so it probably works because it has been enabled by the previous boot. I can see most of the boot sequence, however the kernel must be disrupting the console redirection, even if I've set Redirection After Boot, 'cos I cannot see the all the output (no fsck or init.d scripts for example). according to the ipmitool output it should support speeds up to 115.2 bit-rate 9.6 | 19.2 | 38.4 | 57.6 | 115.2 but setting them fails with Error setting ISOL parameter 'bit-rate': Parameter out of range that happens with Dell's redirector too so I guess is a limit of the BMC. well, this should be enough for an emergency -- Best regards, Alessandro Zummo, Tower Technologies - Torino, Italy http://www.towertech.it ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Apps built with the Adobe(R) Flex(R) framework and Flex Builder(TM) are powering Web 2.0 with engaging, cross-platform capabilities.
