Ubuntu 16.04LTS on DL20Gen9

Hi all!

I have strange behavior on my DL 20 Gen9 server with installed Ubuntu 16.04.3 LTS

I have disabled B140i and enabled AHCI Legacy mode and successfully install OS

When I try to edit the boot parameters( throught ILO), I can enter a small number of characters and after that the system freezes and does not react to clicking.

When I try edit grub parameters via text editor inside OS  (throught ILO) OS doesn't freeze

I updated all firmware to the latest version 

https://certification.ubuntu.com/hardware/201605-22006/

my CPU is intel Pentium G4400, 16Gb RAM, and 1 Tb HDD

Can somebody tells me why I can't  edit grub parameters?

Hopefully you've resolved the issue. Sounds like you may be having some type of network issue. Are you using the .net or java remote console?  Have you tried using the textcons functionality over an SSH session into the iLO?  For the later to work you need to make sure the console is just plain VGA and not using any graphics or frame buffers

Also curious as to why you are switching to legacy boot emulation. 16.04 should work just fine with UEFI

hi all,

I have resolved an issue just switch to UEFI from Legacy BIOS and update to the latest firmware from SPP.

But this behavior very stange for me: in Legacy mode it is freezing, in UEFI not...
