PXEBoot Smartstart 8.70 ends up in empty X-windows on DL360 G7
We use a PXEboot environment for maintenance. fo some reason on the G7 models the smartstart start screen does not show up. The iso is mounted, X-windows is running. It is even possible to start things from /mnt/bootdevice by hand.
The same setup works on other proliants and virtual machines.
Any idea?

What method are you using to 'mount' the .iso. iLO card? Also, how much RAM is in the server?

It is a PXE boot environment, so the iLO is not used to mount the ISO.
Were using PXELINUX and using the SmartStart boot with the same options as described in documentation about the Smartstart scripting toolkit.
The RAM amount varies from 4 to over 32 GB...

Let's just see what the next generation FW/SS does.
***Available first of October, 2011***
Simplified delivery of HP ProLiant systems software and firmware into a single PXE bootable ISO image to reduce customer:
- Qualification cycles
- Resource usage
- Maintenance windows
- Downtime
Now only to find the ssp download...

Download is finally there, tried it. For diagnostics via PXE you still need the SmartStart, so we still have a problem

Wondering if you received further information on how to make this work? I'm having the same issue.
