Hi, I have Debian installed on two servers, and IBM Netfinity 5000 and an HP Proliant DL380, and I would like to make the most of their service ports.
The DL380 has the service port redirected to ttyS0. I can see the the BIOS boot sequence via minicom, and if I set up GRUB and inittab correctly I can also see the Linux boot sequance and login prompt. However, once Linux takes over I can only access Linux functions and not the BIOS (like the <ESC>R<ESC>r<ESC>R reboot sequence). Is this normal for the ServerWorks management functions? On the IBM the console port is not a normal com port. I can get to the BIOS and service processor functions, but I haven't got a clue how to redirect GRUB/Lilo and ttSx to it so I can also get a console. Any suggestions / pointers / links welcome.
