Ah, thanks for the info! Is turning off setttymode() in getty/main.c for given
port enough? I'd prefer to invent boolean getty capability such as nr (no
reset) such as in patch attached. Or did I miss something?

Try to disable getty in /etc/ttys, and start tip -9600 ttyd0 on G2 side - can you communicate with the other side? I tried your suggestion. I disabled the relevant ttyd0 entry in the DL145 G2's /etc/ttys and made the other box the server instead of the client (adding the same relevant /etc/ttys entry). The moment I HUP init on the other box, the effect is the same on the G2. The box is hung. Network services such as ssh just halt. ICMP still works tho. And as usual, acpi0 interrupts (and cpu consumption) hit thru the roof: irq9: acpi0 20218233254 I know that If i disable acpi the serial console works. There's a BIOS update but doesn't really seem relevant as it only fixes HBA stuff: http://h18004.www1.hp.com/support/files/server/us/download/23932.html ( add to that the lousy prerequisite I must have win2k/win2k3 installed ... g) Thanks.

Which version of Main BIOS do you have? Actually, you should not have win2k installed on the very same server; however, prior to iLO 1.21 you *must* use USB floppy to boot from. If you need to I can prepare .img files for dd for you - just drop a note ;-) I did not dig into these .EXE format though - it seems there should be rather straightforward process to extract floppy images from HP soft updates...

Which version of Main BIOS do you have? Ok the box is: Phoenix Server BIOS 3 RELEASE 6.1 BIOS ROM ID HPSYSTEM BIOS - O05 BIOS Version 2.09 Build date 05/05/05 IPMI Specification V 1.5 BMC Firmware 1.00. And there's only 1 BIOS update on their site for this box. Actually, you should not have win2k installed on the very same server; however, prior to iLO 1.21 you *must* use USB floppy to boot from. If you need to I can prepare .img files for dd for you - just drop a note ;-) Actually I do not have win2k on it, I meant that the prerequisite for installing the new firmware is win2k/win2k3(w/c is a REAL PITA), as stated on their site in the URL I gave. I did not dig into these .EXE format though - it seems there should be rather straightforward process to extract floppy images from HP soft updates... That would be interesting :-) Thanks.
