Hi,

I'm trying to install oVirt node 2.5.5-0.1.fc17 and it is node going
well. I'm trying to install it on a Dell blade M610 via a iDrac, and
I'm quit accustomed to this kind of thing.

- As I already had the issue of the label on the grub boot line, I
knew how to specify /dev/sr0 or sr1 on the linux line. Well.
- The install is ok with discovering my hard drive, and the
installation seems to be fine. After rebooting, the bott process is
leading me to the login prompt where the documentation tells me to log
as 'admin' with the correct password :

The keyboard is not responding, I can not even type the user name.
Try adding usbcore.autosuspend=-1 to the kernel command line. I've had
problems with iDRAC 7 virtual consoles with both Fedora 17 and 18 and
this fixes it.  I don't know about iDRAC 6 but trying it couldn't hurt
:)  Getting the machine to always boot with that option could be a bit
tricky with Node.  I'm not sure if you'll just be able to edit the
grub.conf and persist it or not.
Thank you very much, Jeff, this did the trick !
You're welcome!  I know that suddenly losing console access to your
blades can be a bit distressing :)

And better than that : adding it on the first use in the kernel line
leads it to be permanently added in the grub conf even after a reboot.

That's very nice to know.  I was afraid it would be tricky with Node but
I guess it isn't.

Nice !

Thanks for the update on this!  Out of curiosity, was the need for
usbcore.autosuspend=-1 the result of some sort of bug? or is there a bug
filed for tracking the issue?  If it's something that is going to be
needed long term, I'll consider adding it to the default kernel
arguments for ovirt-node.

After a *very* brief search I found https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=850785 which isn't terribly helpful. It does accurately describe the situation but it doesn't seem to be getting much attention (all comments are from a single day).

Thanks

Mike
