I am tryingo to install using the Remote Disk option. I will need to lookup shipment date for this blade, but I am pretty sure it was after 2003. Regards, Yoanis.

How are you trying to install? If by CD, are you sure the CD is okay? Was your BladeCenter chassis shipped before June 2003? (There's a compatibility issue with some CD-ROM drives.) I see a lot of these types of problems (on all systems) with bad CDs or bad CD drives. -- brian m. carlson / brian with sandals: Houston, Texas, US +1 832 623 2791 | http://www.crustytoothpaste.net/~bmc | My opinion only OpenPGP: RSA v4 4096b: 88AC E9B2 9196 305B A994 7552 F1BA 225C 0223 B187 signature.asc Description: Digital signature
Debian Lenny on IBM JS21
Hi list, We recently got two JS21 IBM servers (model is 8844AC1), however while trying to install Debian Lenny the following errors are observed at the blade management console: 8 ERR BLADE_07 01/26/11 12:39:12 (Bual_07) POSTBIOS: 2D83-02/02-12- L -83-------- 9 ERR BLADE_07 01/26/11 12:39:05 (Bual_07) POSTBIOS: 2D83-01/02-10- 2011/01/26_17:40:01:00-BA090010-40--00-E000-00 10 INFO SERVPROC 01/26/11 12:39:03 (rwcsbmm011) Remote Login Successful.

I would appreciate any help on the matter. Regards, Yoanis. P.D: Same behavior has been observed on squeeze and ubuntu server 10.10.
