THESE ARE THE STEPS TO FIX THE REMOTE CONTROL ISSUE ON THE DELL IDRAC WHEN YOU USE LINUX/PROXMOX KERNEL 6.11, THIS HAS BEEN TESTED AND WORKS CORRECTLY ON A DELL POWEREDGE R420 SERVER WITH IDRAC 7.
Login in your sever command line via SSH or PROXMOX GUI.
Run this command:
Find this line:
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet"
Edit that line to this:
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet nomodeset video=1024x768"
PRESS "CTRL + X" KEY COMBO AND SAVE THE CHANGES.
Then run this command:
***NOW, THIS IS IMPORTANT:
POWER OFF THE SYSTEM VIA PROXMOX GUI AND WAIT FOR IS IT COMPLETE OFF.
UNPLUG FROM THE WALL/SOCKET/PDU ANY POWER SUPPLIES CABLES. THIS WILL REBOOT THE IDRAC, JUST IN CASE.
YOU CAN DO DID THIS REMOTELY BUT MY SERVER COMPLAINED BECAUSE I RESTART THE IDRAC WHEN THE SERVER WAS BOOTING AND I EARNED A WARNING FOR HIGH ENERGY CONSUMPTION BEYOND THE LIMITS OF MY PSUs BECAUSE WHEN RESTARTING THE IDRAC THE FANS RAISE TO THEIR MAXIMUM POWER, THIS MIXED WITH THE BOOTING OF THE MACHINE CONSUMES MORE ENERGY.
WAIT 10 SECONDS AN PLUG THE POWER SUPPLIES CABLES AGAIN TO THE WALL/SOCKET/PDU.
WAIT 2 MINUTES, THIS GIVES IDRAC TIME TO BOOT UP.
FINALLY, START THE SERVER!
