Excerpts from Nicola:

---------------------------------------------
Dear All,
I have bought a new HP DL380 G6, 3xHD SAS 146GB RAID5, 6GB RAM, Intel Xeon QuadCore 2.5GHz.

I have tried with the USB Driver and the ISO CD Imange, but when booting it takes 10 minutes to get the initial screen.
Once the countdown of 10 second finished, the system seems to be very slow. From the page where we can set name, ip address etc, the mouse move scattering and when I type the name, it appear on the screen after 10 seconds.

Any idea?

Best Regards

This is known bug in the 2.6.30 kernel unless we move to a newer kernel this bug cannot be fixed. Interesting thing to note here is that the same card was working fine with our lab machines with the same card.

I suspect that vesa driver is causing the problem.  I disabled ATI work around.  I hope this will fix this problem.

Comment 2 Balamurugan Arumugam 2010-02-25 18:41:41 UTC

Work around:

1. Boot Platform USB stick.
2. Press Esc key to get boot menu.
3. Press TAB to edit a menu entry.
4. Remove 'rhgb quiet' and add 'nomodeset'.
5. Press Enter key to boot Platform.

This fixes the bug in most of the hardware.
