Hi Jefferson, I usually see you on the tcpdump-workers list, but as it happens we are apparently both on this list, and what's more, have both run into this problem.
You write: > Boot is fine; I have access to the console over IPMI/SOL during boot, > all the way to getting an agetty login banner and prompt. But once I > disconnect my IPMI/SOL session, after some delay, the BMC enters a kind > of feedback loop where the banner text is fed back into agetty. agetty > then logs a lot of failed login attempts, and eventually init pauses > spawning agetty for 5 minutes because of excessive restarts. The problem here is that the BMC is treating the serial port as a potential source of IPMI or shell commands (at least, when it is not running SoL over the serial port. Follow the instructions I gave in the most recent thread about this to disable IPMI serial access and you should be good. http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg00029.html @alex -- mailto:[email protected] _______________________________________________ Linux-PowerEdge mailing list [email protected] https://lists.us.dell.com/mailman/listinfo/linux-poweredge Please read the FAQ at http://lists.us.dell.com/faq
