Hi,

I'm trying to get the keyboard emulation part of Dell's DRAC5 remote
access controller working with freebsd.  This is 6.1-RELEASE-p3 and
running amd64 port. Can anyone shed some light?

relevant dmesg messages:
----
pe1# cat /var/log/dmesg.today | grep kbd
kbd0 at kbdmux0
ukbd0: Dell DRAC5, rev 1.10/0.00, addr 3, iclass 3/1
kbd1 at ukbd0
atkbdc0: <Keyboard controller (i8042)> at port 0x60,0x64 on isa0

trying to attach only that keyboard to the console:
----
pe1# kbdcontrol -k /dev/ukbd0 < /dev/console
kbdcontrol: cannot open /dev/ukbd0: Device busy

trying to add it to the mux:
----
pe1# kbdcontrol -K < /dev/console
kbd0
    kbdmux0, type:AT 101/102 (2)
pe1# kbdcontrol -a kbd0 < /dev/kbdmux0
/dev/kbdmux0: Device busy.
pe1# kbdcontrol -a kbd1 < /dev/kbdmux0
/dev/kbdmux0: Device busy.
pe1# kbdcontrol -k /dev/kbdmux0 < /dev/console
kbdcontrol: cannot open /dev/kbdmux0: Device busy

trying to get info on the keyboards:
----
pe1# kbdcontrol -i < /dev/kbdmux0
/dev/kbdmux0: Device busy.
pe1# kbdcontrol -i < /dev/ukbd0
/dev/ukbd0: Device busy.
pe1# kbdcontrol -i < /dev/kbd0
/dev/kbd0: Device busy.
pe1# kbdcontrol -i < /dev/console
kbd0:
    kbdmux0, type:AT 101/102 (2)


Am I missing something?  Any suggestions?

thanks!

scott
