How to install Centos Linux on DL560 Gen 10?

We have couple Proliant DL560 Gen 10.  I need to create a bootable USB drive with Linux Centos 7 or 8 to do diagnostic from server to server.  When I boot the Usb key created with Unetbootin containing Centos 7 or 8, I keep getting "dracut- initqueue timeout" type of errors.  What is the most likely cause of this error?  Am I missing some HPE drivers?  Where can I get these drivers?

Hi 

Need more information, 

1. Are these Gen10s' alredy installed with CentOS ? 

2. If yes, was there any issues where you are trying to run the diagnostics on them ?

3. Have you tried creating the bootable USB from HPE USB Key utility?

4. OR are you trying to install the OS on the servers using this bootable USB Key?

Found few articles.
