Re: ibm server black screen console
None of these revealed anything of use to me.
Have you or anyone else used debian on the IBM x3650 ?
With the RSA board ?? I really feel that the console is being sent to
that board and not to the regular vga port.
Just have no way of confirming this.
Can anyone else offer some advice ?
thanks
