DL 385 G7 debain
I'm trying to get debian 5.0.8 i386 installed on a DL 385 G7. I have updated all firmware using the 930 smart firmware DVD it installs fine but on reboot hangs at the starting kernel point.
Does this server on support 64bit OS's although HP does list 32bit support?
How do I get debain installed on this server?
thanks

Re: DL 385 G7 debain
If the kernel command line includes the "quiet" or "splash" options, remove them and press Enter, then B to boot using the modified boot configuration - you should see much more output in that case. What are the last few lines of output when it hangs, exactly?
If you try to boot it using the rescue mode of the Debian installation DVD, will it start up?
If it starts up that way, it might be a problem related to the bootloader or initrd.
DL385 G7 *definitely* supports 64-bit OSs.
HP says if you use RHEL 5 on this server, you must install a RedHat kernel update that was released in December 2009, or else the server won't work reliably. Is Debian 5.0.8 an absolute requirement for you? Have you tried installing Debian 6 instead, just to confirm it works?

Re: DL 385 G7 debain
yes it works fine on 64bit 5.0.8
HP does list 32bit support and it works with 6.0.1a
we have our own software to install which we have never tested on 64bit, as this server is for a customer we would need to fully test first.
cheers
