I'll cross my fingers and hold my breath! :-)

I wouldn't hold my breath for too long. ;)

Confirming what Ole said.

If you type in hp_memcap=1 at the boot: prompt as the ISO loads, you get an image not found message and it continues until the black screen and you are done.

Ignore my previous post about the hp_memcap=1 as a bug was found in the way the boot code on the FDT was calculating memory when more than 64GB was installed in a server.

The fix for the >64GB memory issue here is to type the following at the boot: prompt.

bdcd mem=16g

This will allow the FDT to boot and restrict the viewable memory to 16GB or less.

Great!

That works, and as I don't have 100 enclosures I can live with this solution.

Thanks,
