This just came up (again) just a few days ago on this list: http://lists.us.dell.com/pipermail/linux-poweredge/2009-October/040389.html My reply to that should resolve your problem as well: > 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.

Most complete summary of the solution: http://lists.us.dell.com/pipermail/linux-poweredge/2009-April/038997.html My first posting of a solution: http://lists.us.dell.com/pipermail/linux-poweredge/2009-January/038400.html My initial post asking for help with the problem: http://lists.us.dell.com/pipermail/linux-poweredge/2008-December/038186.html Perhaps there should be an FAQ for this list with a prominent link in the list e-mails? This is not the only question that seems to come up over and over again. @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
