hm, the tags were kinda broken, "[functional" with no closing "]" and also no team-assignment. I suggest to always assign to a team so that nothing falls between the backlogs of the teams. In the "worst" case we could set "[y][u]". Or just pick one and we can shift around when we agree that it does not fit for one team but the other. I tag with "[u]" as this is where I think we track the most IPMI ones

I think we can work on this again, even if blocker ticket is not resolved yet - but the last 12 runs were hitting this bug.

hope you're fine if I unassign you @okurz

according to a statement of the machine maintainers, we sometimes see issues with this hardware and losing keys.
I would propose to just send the return key 10 times to workaround this.
I see no point in opening a bug for shitty hardware
wdyt?

Actually no. If we are missing a key in the bootloader then would we not also miss a key elsewhere? I strongly recommend to work on the blocker #36027 properly first. Yes, that means good statistics :) We should first see if the MC is more stable with the approach by xlai. Then we can see if we really need a special approach for just the grub menu or is it rather all key presses sent over the IPMI which we might be able to handle better in the backend.

Move to new QSF-u PO after I moved to the "tools"-team. I mainly checked the subject line so in individual instances you might not agree to take it over completely into QSF-u. Feel free to discuss with me or reassign to me or someone else in this case. Thanks.
