To whom it concerns: =20 I am an unix administrator, am responsible for our company's unix servers: there are some running FreeBSD (ver 4.10, 4.11, etc). We I tried to connect to the console by connecting a LCD & keyboard. I found some consoles are responding the key typing, some are just like a dead session - no responding to key typing at all.=20 =20 I must fix the problem since I need console login with root. Any insight on this? thanks.=20 Our machines are Dell PowerEdge 2650 (2U rack mountable) , come with Video port, PS2 keyboard/Mouse ports, and two Serial ports. -- I also tried the serial ports for console access, no lucky. =20 My question is: why some machines' LCD console is hang while some are good. the consoles with hang problem show Unix error message on the console, but I don't think this could cause the console hang.=20 =20 I also checked the BIOS, the good ones have same setting wit bad ones. =20 Jessie Xu Unix Administrator jessie.xu@cryptologic.com desk phone: 416 545 1453 x 5618 Skype: Jessie.xu972 =20 =20
