Um. Er. On boot, you might check a) the BIOS, and b) if there's any option
to go into the BMC (or whatever they call it), and poke around.
You don't mention what hardware it is. Googling on IPMI BT: timeout in
WR_CONSUME,
I found
<http://en.community.dell.com/support-forums/servers/f/1466/t/19468209.aspx>
and this
<http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-grub/2008-09/msg00014.html>, so I'd
look at grub options on the kernel line.
