Re: OpenBSD on HPE DL20 G9

[BARDOU Pierre]

Hello,

Unfortunately, I don't have this server any more : as it didn't worked I sent 
it back to HP.
But thanks for the info, the trick may be useful for other servers.

Can you try to disable "UEFI Optimized Boot"?

It works for me.

Nice idea.
Sadly, I tried and it seems not to work : the boot can't find any serial

boot> set tty com0
switching console to com0
com0 console not present
boot> set tty
pc0

Can't you enable serial console redirection with the built-in iLO?
That should make it easier to get the boot messages in legacy mode.

Alternatively, if you have the "Advanced iLO" license, you can ssh to 
iLO and view the text console.

OMG I just placed an order for two of these, hoping to use OpenBSD on
them. Should I cancel? Is there anything from HP in same price range
that runs OpenBSD?

Thank you in advance,

OpenBSD on HPE DL20 G9

[BARDOU Pierre]

Hello,

I have a brand new HPE DL20 G9, on which I am trying to boot OpenBSD (version
6.0).

1s try : UEFI. The boot loader does its work, and then the screen remains
blank.
I can't see any line with blue background.
I tried to see what happend via console, but there is no serial port on these
little beasts :(

2nd try : legacy bios.
The kernel starts, lines startiong with "cpu" seem OK.
But then there are a lot of "mem adress conflict" and "bridge mem address
conflict".
Then it freezes.

Is there something I can do ?
Would that be useful that I give you the full messages (long and painful
process of copying the text from the video of the boot) ?

Thank you
