I received a few weeks ago a HP Proliant DL360 G4. It looks like this.
I tried to install ubuntu server on it, just to click around and see what I can do with it, nevertheless the install fails somehow.
There is an installed Win server 2003R2 on it, but I do not think it should be problem (or maybe I'm wrong?).
I made a bootable usb key, plugged into the rear port (the front usb accepts only the keyboard, cannot boot from it) and give it a go.
After the std boot process the ubuntu shows up, and the usb key blinks as well, but after a few moments, it switches to console (I know this is ok yet) then goes dark, and the monitor also displays a Non optimum mode
error msg.
After this everything just hangs, no usb blinks nothing happens at all.
I excluded the hw issue possibility as the winserver boots up just fine.
So far I only worked with desktop computers, worked with servers only remotely. :-)
Any idea what did I wrong, or how to continue from this point?
