Try adding usbcore.autosuspend=-1 to the kernel command line.  I've had 
problems with iDRAC 7 virtual consoles with both Fedora 17 and 18 and 
this fixes it.  I don't know about iDRAC 6 but trying it couldn't hurt 
:)  Getting the machine to always boot with that option could be a bit 
tricky with Node.  I'm not sure if you'll just be able to edit the 
grub.conf and persist it or not.
