Nothing is routed through hpilo. The problem is that there is a shared hardware resource in iLO function 2 (hpilo), and it is used by iLO function 4 (uhci_hcd kdb/mouse). When hpilo is unloaded, the pci_device_disable() call removes the ability for this function to act as a busmaster, which stops the uhci_hcd from functioning correctly. Reloading hpilo will enable the remote console again. Removing the pci_disable_device() "fixes" the problem, but doing that worries me. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-pci" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
