ilo2 keyboard problems with redhat build

[julian soda]

Hello. I am having an issue where the keyboard and mouse are not working on the console of a RHEL 3 (U8) system running on a DL585G2. It seems to be a problem with our particular build as the keyboard works during the OS installation and works during grub, but I haven't been able to pinpoint the problem. Additionally, the cntrl-alt-delete button does nothing as well. We have many older iLOs (version 1) with the same build that do not have this issue. This happens on multiple machines, and we are running the latest firmware on each (1.26).

Below is the relevant sections of dmesg during the installation process (when this works):
