Hello,
I have a remote IBM x3550 M4 server that I try to remote control through IMM2. The problem: only the blinking cursor is visible in login console. It moves when I type. It moves to where "Login: _" should be if I press ctrl+c. I can login if I enter the correct login and password, but the shell that I get also shows only the blinking cursor and no text. I can issue commands.
The server is in production and works ok. SSH works ok. CentOS 6.
What I have tried: - tty[1-7] with ctrl+alt+Fxxx - 'reset' command after logging in - initctl restart tty TTY=/dev/tty2 - killing ttyS
What I didn't try: - reboot would mean downtime
Is there something that can be done about this?
