Hello,
I just got this shiny new blade enclosure and am having some weird issue with console redirect.
Basically, it uses some slightly modified VNC protocol to redirect the console to your browser-based enclosure management software (Java app).
I get the screen and all (only with oracle jvm though) but it does not take keyboard input. I loaded all the usbhid stuff as was suggested by google - no luck.
The most annoying thing is that it works with ubuntu server.
With Arch Linux, I can see the console screen but can't get any kind of keyboard interaction.
I can't live without this feature as it saves me few kilometers a day running to the comms room.
At the moment I don't know where to start solving it. Any suggestions are welcome.
Even if you guys don't have such a blade center, I would appreciate any deductive advice.
Thanks.

Oh, well ... No one ..?
No one has ever used DRAC cards on Dell servers and the virtual console?
I believe it all worked before the systemd was put in place. So it is something that systemd broke.
Maybe it is to do with how it handles ttys.
BTW, if I set "console=tty1" as kernel parameter it works for about 10 seconds, I can even log in but then I lose the keyboard input again.
