 I tried with the iLO keyboard, but it didn't work because it's a USB
 interface.
 
 With the serial port I think it's also not dropping into ddb.  The Serial
 port is accessible via the iLO, using either a Java app or ssh.  Break
 isn't working for either method.
 
 I might try booting without SMP, and see if I can drop to ddb normally (I=
 E
 can I actually reach ddb, or is the system not allowing ddb access...)
 
 Thanks,
 Chris
