Thank you very much, Jeff, this did the trick !
You're welcome! I know that suddenly losing console access to your
blades can be a bit distressing :)
And better than that : adding it on the first use in the kernel line
leads it to be permanently added in the grub conf even after a reboot.
That's very nice to know. I was afraid it would be tricky with Node but
I guess it isn't.
Nice !
