G6s won't boot to virtual media through iLO 2?
It just goes through the basic..
Attempting to Boot from CD-ROM
Attempting to Boot from Floppy
Attempting to Boot from Harddrive
Attempting to Boot from Network
...then goes into a reboot loop even though the virtual media applet shows I am connected to the server.
Due to pre-existing security policies I had to change iLO to use port 3000 for the virtual media feature, could this cause a problem?
The one I am currently trying to install on is;
DL360 G6
BIOS P64
iLO 2 1.77 (Adv Feature Pack Licensed)
I'm getting the same behavior on all of the 360s and 380s we just bought.
If I go to the server and put the USB key with smart start on it in the server itself or a DVD of the same smart start image it boots to it just fine.
Thoughts?

Maybe I need to fire up a trusty XP virtual machine and see how it works with IE7 and go from there. :)

yes the XP is in my opinion the best desktop os from MS, but i use only a linux and the Windows is inside a virtual machine ( lot of software for storage/management are ported only for Windows platform ).

Re: G6s won't boot to virtual media through iLO 2?
I would try this way:
Try to boot from the media on your PC: it could be not bootable.
Try to boot from the media from an (old enough) CD/DVD Drive: it could be written too fast, if it isn't original media, to work with virtual media. I had this problem too in the past. OR, if you can, directly try writing the CD again slower.
If everything's OK with the media:
Try to use virtual media from IE7 or 6.
Try to restore the default ports (if you can, even for a bit)
Try to upgrade the ILO2 FW.
If everything fails, contact HP.
