I definitely have the same problem. I have a machine with working ssh,
so I can get onto the machine for debug (plus it works fine with a local
USB keyboard, so I can do stuff on the console).
I've tried disabling kbdmux and booting with just the DRAC keyboard
emulation attached - the keyboard works during boot, and is detected
during kernel startup, and is selected as ukbd0, which kbdcontrol
confirms is the console keyboard. However it doesn't work, no
keystrokes are accepted.
So it's not a kbdmux issue.
Sam.
