Have you any idea why the console garbling is happening?
Yeah - you're right - it's garbled. Looks like its dropping chars.
Or writing some chars twice but at a different time. The system might be
one of those that fakes serial console output on the assumption the
operating system isn't doing the same thing. I've seen one or two blade
systems that did something like this with mixed results.
I don't know why, but I'm not surprised. It's a lab system with a
new (for us) way of rigging the console output. I just got this
particular x86_64's console connection to work at all yesterday.
I've been working indirectly through my good lab tech. I should
drive in to the lab that has this rig (an hour away) and check it
out in person, and see what can be done to get clean console output.
That is a bit of a sickener. It may be worth getting your good lab tech
to check if there is a configuration setting in the hardware for
simulating console output before you make the trip.
This may take a day or three to yield results, unless I get lucky.
I have Keith's problem with reserve-based-hot-add to keep me occupied in
the meantime. Whenever you get the chance will be fine. Thanks a lot
