Bl460c-RHEL5- PSP 7.92 : server rebooting continuosly

[galam.sunilyadav]

Hello experts,

I have installed RHEL 5 on a new BL460c. I have selected all the optional packages during the installation time. The installation completed successfully.

I tried installing latest PSP 7.92 and force selected all the options. the installation was complete. after some time the server started re-booting continuosly.

what is the most compatiable version of PSP for linux 5? should i be selecting only few packages while installing Linux? did i install the incorrect version. Kindly advice.

what version of RHEL5? The most current is 5.6. Are you installing the x86 or x86_64 version?

Hi Jimmy,

The verson is 5.2 X86_64.

Don't use the force option

The latest support pack is v8.70

Hi Jimmy,

before installing 7.92 i have tried the latest 8.7 Unlike the earlier versions this has "hpsum" script instead of install.sh.
after executing hpsum script, a new window opens stating loading and never moves further.Hence i installed 7.92.
am i installing the 8.7 is the right way?

Take a look at using the SDR as a repository and use apt to intstall the various components.

Start at http://downloads.linux.hp.com/SDR/ for information on setting up the repository

v8.31 was the last PSP that used an installX.XX.sh script. v8.40 and later use the hpsum program.

Manged to complete the task using install.sh file. yet to try the latest version.
