I'm working on a remote server installation entirely through ILO. Due to the software application and environment, my access is restricted to a Windows server that I must access through RDP. Going from that system to the target server is accomplished via HP ILO2 or ILO3.

I'm trying to run a CentOS installation in an environment where I can't use a kickstart. I'm doing this via text mode, but the keystrokes are repeating randomly and it's difficult to select the proper installation options. For example:

ks=http://all.yourbase.org/kickstart/ks.cfg

ends up looking like:

ks====httttttp://allll..yourbaseee.....org/kicksstart/ks.cccfg

I'm doing this using Microsoft's native RDP client (on Mac and Windows). I've also noticed this before when running installations or doing remote work in nested sessions. Same for typing into a VMWare console in some cases.

Is there a nice fix for this, or it it simply a function of the protocol(s)?
