Issues
Virtual Media Disconnect crashes kernel
Kernel crashes have been observed when ejecting Virtual CD-ROM media is ejected, even when the media is umounted. The suggested workaround is to shutdown the OS before ejecting the Virtual CD-ROM. Observed on an iLO 2 system running kernel-image-2.6.8-12-amd64-generic (2.6.8-16sarge5hpde1).
Remote Serial Console hangs
The boot sequence has been observed to hang when Linux is configured to use the Remote Serial Console. Sending data to the serial console (e.g., pressing enter) will allow the console output to proceed. Observed on an iLO 2 system running kernel-image-2.6.8-12-amd64-generic (2.6.8-16sarge5hpde1).
Panic loading cciss driver
The em64t-p4 flavor kernel has been observed to panic when attempting to load the cciss driver:
SCSI subsystem initialized HP CISS Driver (v 2.6.10) cciss: using DAC cycles ACPI: PCI interrupt 0000:06:00.0[A] -> GSI 16 (level, low) -> IRQ 16 cciss cciss0: SendCmd Invalid command list address returned! (2) ciss cciss0: SendCmd Timeout out, No command list address returned! cciss: unable to determine firmware version of controller cciss cciss0: SendCmd Invalid command list address returned! (2) cciss cciss0: SendCmd Timeout out, No command list address returned! cciss: report logical volume command failed Using anticipatory io scheduler pivot_root: No such file or direKernel panic: Attempted to kill init! ctory
If you experience this problem, it is recommended to use the amd64-generic kernel instead.
Grub fails to install
Two different issues have been observed to cause this problem:
The Debian 2.6.8 kernel has a [http://dannf.org/bloggf/tech/cciss-grub-real-fix.html bug] in the block layer that causes certain ioctls to fail. The HPDE installer includes the fix for this bug.
Grub may also fail if the partition that holds /boot extends past the first 512MB. You can identify this situatin by choosing "Execute a Shell" in the main menu and running 'cat /target/tmp/grub*'. If you see the message Error 18: Selected cylinder exceeds maximum supported by BIOS, try creating a separate /boot partition that resides within the first 512MB of your disk.
