Category: None Group: None Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Submitted By: Duane Berry (dmberry) Assigned to: David N. Lombard (dnl) Summary: Net install "no floppy" option Initial Comment: I'm installing on blades that do not have floppies or cdroms. The screen says "Probing BIOS drives. This may take a while." and it isn't kidding! It spends about eight minutes looking for drives that aren't there. What now takes 20 minutes could take only 12 minutes if we had the option of telling OSCAR not to bother with anything except the hard drive. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >Comment By: Duane Berry (dmberry) Date: 2005-02-23 21:09 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=393162 It's a Compaq Proliant blade server and you're correct- they don't have controllers. I have to use a dongle that gives me access to the USB port. The crazy thing is I can reorder the boot list but can't remove anything (like floppies) from it. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: David N.

However, I suspect your blade doesn't even have the controllers, and the kernel's getting bolluxed. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=359368&aid=1121816&group_id=9368 ------------------------------------------------------- SF email is sponsored by - The IT Product Guide Read honest & candid reviews on hundreds of IT Products from real users.
