ILO 2 & VMWARE ESX 3.0.x USB Keyboard problem

Hi All

I loose keyboard connectivity once VMWare ESX starts loading. I am able to go into BIOS settings via F9 etc, but once ESX loads the problem appears. This is a fact via ILO connection and via physical connection to this server.

I did following:

1. Succefully installed esx 3.0.1-32039

2. Succesfully upgraded to esx 3.0.2-61618

3. After upgrade reboot is required and problem occurs

Current config:

HP BL685c

ILO 2 firmware version: 1.50

Onboard Administrator firmware version: 2.20

ESX 3.0.2, 61618

It might be

- ilo 2 firmware

- VMware patch (I did not find one)

Does anybody have a solution for this?

Many thanks in advance!
