i am not sure if it is related at all to FreeBSD, but maybe someone here
know the solution. Anyway it is somewhat FreeBSD related for sure as you
will see from description.
I bought used IP 16 port KVM connected to few servers, in between them
FreeBSD 8 server running on Dell PowerEdge T110.
As this KVM have PS/2 connectors to keyboard and mouse i added USB to
dual-PS/2 converter.
So:
1)when KVM is used locally with plugged monitor, keyboard and mouse
everything is fine.
2)when it is used remotely before FreeBSD is booted or after
successful multiuser boot everything is fine.
3)when kernel boots and waits for GELI password, and i SLOOOWLY type it
(at most one keypress per second) over remote KVM connection - everything
is fine.
4)when i type the password faster keyboard locks. you have to turn off
server and on again to recover.
Please don't laught from 3 and 4 as it is true, tested several times. The
problem happens ONLY at FreeBSD but before mounting root, when geli ask
for password.
And it is serious as ability to enter geli password is the main reason
for this KVM to be installed! And really not forgetting to type password
very slowly isn't easy.
Any idea what it is and how to fix it. It really looks like magic.
