I have a current RELENG_7 running on:

I can interact with the BIOS, etc, but no joy once we get past the
loader.
Anyone have ideas?
Attached is the kernel config, and the /var/run/dmesg.boot file.
I hate it when I post something, and then look at one setting on the
card, and fix it myself.
There is a key release timeout checkbox on the keyboard/mouse
settings tab for the KVM that wasn't checked. Checking it
fixed it.
Sorry for the noise. :(
Actually, it worked *ONCE*, and now is not behaving itself.
Any ideas from other SuperMicro users?
I don't have that IPMI card but I can say we have other cards of theirs
working. I would make sure the card is at the latest version of firmware.
The AOC-SIMSO(+) card was not detected correctly until we upgraded. I don't
know why the card is going away when freebsd boots since I assume you are on
the dedicated LAN interface with its own IP address.
Yes. It's not going away, just doesn't see the key strokes.
We do have a few issues with Supermiro IPMI and FreeBSD that share the Intel
NIC (em) with the OS. Once the NIC is detected, you can't talk to the IPMI
card until the NIC is configured with ifconfig. Even just an ifconfig up
will wake things back up. We ended up removing the em driver from the kernel
and loading it as a module to reduce this window.
The other issue is with bridging since the IPMI packets get gobbled up and
never make it too the bridge.
I do need to file PRs for these one of these days...
