Which date do you find on your installation DVD?

It can be a version that doesn't support the rx2660

Shalom,

I have the same box.

Don't bother with the OS install until the firmware is current. This may be a multi step process as the machine was released before the OS and the firmware upgrade process is byzantine and that is a kind description.

Do it via ftp and don't try and skip levels. As I recall I had to do three or four upgrades using differing methodologies to get 11.23 to run on the system.

Though When I look at your firmware levels they look current. Check them anyway.

It should not be a problem of the media release, because you wrote it is a rx2600, not rx2660.


The message you see is the last output from EFI, from now on the kernel send output to the console.

Check your console setting in EFI boot menu - maybe it is set to another device.

Try by resetting the BMC using
MP -> CM -> RB

If still it doesn't work, then there is some problem with BMC. You need to log a h/w call to HP Support. Maybe system board is required to be replaced.
