IPMI SoL oddity on 9.0

Folks,

I'm hitting a roadblock on getting IPMI SoL up and running on my Supermicro box. It's a X9SCL-F with a dedicated IPMI LAN.

I've installed ipmitool and set the necessary console redirects (COM1, COM2 and SoL) in the BIOS. The new AMI BIOS does not seem to indicate the SoL is sharing resources with either one of the two COM ports. All 3 redirect speed is 9600.

Serial console works, as far as COM ports are concerned. The BIOS, the boot, loader, kernel messages and TTY are all redirected to the COMs.

However SoL only works with the BIOS, boot and reading loader defaults.

It will get stuck once it enters the spinning kernel boot and it will stay there.

I've tried playing with 0x10 uart flags in device.hints alternating between uart0 and uart1 also to no available in hoping that the SoL port is sharing with either one of the two COMs.

Regardless SoL simply will not work entering the kernel onwards.

Attached are what I believe the configs relevant to my problem.

inf02-kul# cat /boot.config
