The bug may be in the BIOS where it claims you can select some other
speed.

Certainly none of the Dell iDRAC systems I've ever seen support
anything other than 115.2, despite there being a speed setting in the
BIOS.  But we're building a custom OS image anyway, so it was no
hardship to put that into /boot.
