When booted into the Maintenance OS image from the grub boot menu, running tmidiag -r drops the serial console from the grub kernel line, which causes a loss of communication on the serial console after rebooting.
Serial console baud rate settings are incorrect. Uses the bios baud rate on the console.
-- Booted into Maintenance OS. -- Running the command: tmidiag -r
When booting, edit the grub kernel line to include console=ttyS0. Note: The value is "tty", an uppercase "S" character, and zero, so ttyS0.
tmidiag has been fixed to not strip out console=ttyS0.
