Generally what happens is that I get an iPXE> prompt, but the cursor goes back to some line, and any characters I type end up in column 0 on that line. Commands such as 'help' work, but character input is spotty (dropped characters) and usually I only get a handful of lines of output before the output wraps up to an earlier line (not necessarily the first line of the Putty window).</span></div><div dir="ltr" id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1460406480340_8836"><br></div><div dir="ltr" id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1460406480340_8836">I've tried all kinds of things, disabling all of the non-serial consoles and can't get any different results.

I see syslog/vmware consoles seem to do that, but not sure if that will work for a serial console.</div><div dir="ltr" id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1460406480340_8836"><br></div><div dir="ltr" id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1460406480340_8836">thanks</div><div dir="ltr" id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1460406480340_8836">Mark</div> <div id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1460406480340_8833"><br></div><div id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1460406480340_8834"><br></div><div id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1460406480340_8835">Sent from Yahoo Mail. <a href="https://yho.com/146xkg" id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1460406480340_9042">Get it now</a></div></div></body></html>
