After the system is booted I note that there is no CLI prompt on iDRAC virtual console. Instead there is only a flashing underscore cursor at top left of screen. This was observed only today, I had a reboot yesterday and the CLI prompt came up fine.

Some details:

- Machine boots normally, able to access the machine via SSH

- A few parameters in /etc/default/grub were changed prior to reboot, not expecting this to be the cause

- No warnings in the Lifecycle logs.

- Able to interact with virtual console successfully and do things like change bios settings

- A soft reset of iDRAC did not help

- Rebooting the server also did not help

Hardware: Dell R640

iDRAC firmware: 3.21.21.21

 

Any help is much appreciated!
