Re: No SRM console on reboot?

Adrian,

Thanks for the suggestion.  I'll check that next time I bring the  
server down.

The strange thing is that both used to reboot correctly when they  
both had video cards.  Then I pulled the video card out of one and  
now this happens.  It could be the SRM variable got reset when I  
changed the console back to serial.  I'll check to make sure.
