Re: Rackspace machines being installed
The strange thing is that I was unable to use the mouse/keyboard from fedora, ubuntu AND
windows server....
So in my opinion it's more likely to be a problem with the idrac app (it happens in
linux and windows as well...).
And it seems a different problem than the vertical stripes freeze in the machine, that one
happens through idrac and through a monitor plugged in to the machine... as a remainder,
what happened is that after selecting any menu options except safe graphics mode (or
entering it from the boot: prompt) the installation started (started showing some of the
logs when starting) and then if froze showing only vertical stripes
Yes, I agree on opening a bug, but rackspace guys might get pissed if they have to
reinstall the machine again :S

Wow, I didn't think to check for a bug report. I do recall possibly
trying the 'usbcore' workaround because of a forum post somewhere. As it
happens, these machines are in fact DELL PowerEdge R720s. I would reckon
we are experiencing that bug in some fashion, it would be too much of a
coincidence otherwise, right?
