I found a rather simple work around for Ubuntu 9.10 Server on my PowerEdge 2450.
1. Burn Ubuntu 9.10 Desktop to a cd 2. Download Ubuntu 9.10 Server and save the iso where you will be able to access it from within a live session 3. Boot your regular computer to an Ubuntu Desktop live session and create a USB boot disk with the iso of Ubuntu Server (Use the "Make a USB Startup Disk" tool) 4. Burn Ubuntu 9.10 Server to a cd 5. Plug your newly created USB boot disk into to the server 6. Boot the server with the Ubuntu Server cd 7. Press F6 to add "noprompt cdrom-detect/try-usb=true" to the beginning of the Install Ubuntu Server boot command 8. Install This ran the installation off the usb drive instead of the cd and in avoided all the errors. -- Won't boot on a DELL Poweredge 2500 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/148466 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
