  Subj: Bug#1116074: IPMI stops working after BI  
 XPost: linux.debian.bugs.dist 
 From: ala.frosty@gmail.com 
  
 Package: installation-reports 
 Version: debian-live-13.1.0-amd64-standard.iso 
 Severity: important 
  
 Motherboard: Supermicro X8DTI 
 CPU: Dual Xeon X5675 
 RAM: 192GB Samsung DDR3 EEC 
  
 Short Description: OS (grub?) stops responding to IPMI keyboard 
 Interface after BIOS handoff to boot disk. Problem is exclusive to 
 Trixie and not apparent in any other OS that I have tried with this 
 exact hardware. Sensors and video continue to function normally. 
  
 Long Description: Using the Supermicro IPMIView Windows Application 
 (or the http web interface),the IPMI interface works fully from 
 initial boot until the BIOS hands off control to the OS (grub?). Once 
 the Grub OS Selection menu appears on screen, keyboard inputs to the 
 IPMI controller are not accepted by the computer thereafter. This 
 behaviour is unique to Debian/Trixie. I have used the IPMI interface 
 on this computer (same hardware, different drives) with numerous other 
 OSs and never seen a problem before this. This first arose when I 
 attempted to install Proxmox built on the Debian/Trixie platform and 
 IPMI stopped working. People within the Proxmox community had a very 
 difficult time believing me that this behavior is actually occurring, 
 instead stating that it cannot happen as described (but it is). I 
 decided to try to run a LIVE Debian Trixie install to take the Proxmox 
 overlay out of the equation, and discovered the same issue. When I 
 return to booting the same computer with the prior boot drive, the 
 IPMI interface works normally and keyboard inputs are accepted once 
 again. I.e. The bug is 100% reproducible and appears to be exclusive 
 to the latest version of Debian/Trixie. i have probably worked with 
 over a dozen different OS's on the hardware (bare metal) and never had 
 this issue before. It seems to me that somehow, the OS (grub?) is 
 turning off the IPMI interface.
