Hmm, that sounds broken. Are you sure you've got the right serial port and baud rate? Once you switch the boot loader to serial, it's no longer a matter of "forwarding", it's direct serial access as far as the bootloader/OS is concerned. The BIOS forwarding piece is out of the picture. Unless your IPMI serial port implementation is broken you've probably got the wrong settings. Double check in the BIOS what the IPMI serial port settings are (which port, speed, etc) and make sure they match what you tell the bootloader. > rely on ssh for everything.

I can't remember the last time I used a physical anything with a server. Rack and forget... Unless a power supply blows.
