still doesn't have system_prepare test module. So it means it has never worked before on ipmi machine.

Thanks to great effort of zaoliang we've found the reason why this never worked on ipmi.
the necessary function use_ssh_serial_console' was never called after the actual reboot, instead we tried to switch toroot-console` which does not work on ipmi

Please clarify if select_console 'root-console' can work at all on IPMI. It was working and it should be working. If it is not working anymore then we should find out the reason why (since when) and make sure it works. Every backend should have a workable 'root-console'. If it works on s390x z/VM then I am sure we can make it work on IPMI as well :)

root-console is working in general on ipmi, see further consoletests, they all use root-console
but use_ssh_serial_console is doing more stuff then just selecting root-ssh - the important part why we need to call this function is the disabling of the sol console and the change of the serial dev
