Rackspace machines being installed

[David Caro Estevez]

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
