The LO100i ("Lights Out") is a remote console solution from HP (via
Compaq) Proliant servers.

The LO100i features a java KVM (Keyboard/Video/Mouse) switch emulator.
The KVM switch emulator only supports certain video resolutions.  Even
if you configure grub2 with "fb=0" or "gfxmode=640x480" Plymouth comes
along and sets a resolution that results in an unreadable display.
