3) kernel parameters: nofb nomodeset nosplash vga=normal video=vesafb:off (may not all have been necessary) to get more than first few boot messages on local console. 2) Tape Autoloader not detected until installed kernel 4.6.3 from Jessie backports. Installation itself straightforward (100 MB UEFI boot, 500 MB boot, rest LVM PV).Īfter installation and boot from internal storage some fixes: 1) firmware-linux-nonfree required for tg3. Used HP's 'Intelligent Provisioning' to configure RAID devices before starting installation. Smart Array P440ar, SAS to HP 1-8 G2 Tape Autoloader, RAID-1 and 10 (System will beep before bootloader starts however.) No need to disable AHCI if boot order is configured appropriately in BIOS or iLO4. Intel Pentium Processor G2020T (original), 2 x KTH-P元16E/8G = 16 GB RAM, Ethernet 1Gb 2-port 332i Adapter (original), Dynamic Smart Array B120i Controller (Single disk, RAID 0) (original), No MicroSD or internal USB Solution is to install firmware-linux-nonfree Adding 'nomodeset' to kernel command line works around the issue in Stretch. HP recommends to edit the kernel command line (for RHEL), but it does not work with Stretch. Works fine, but after reboot no display visible. Had to configure the 'HPE Dynamic Smart Array B140i' (software RAID) to AHCI mode appending 'vga=normal fb=false' to the kernel command line solves this issue, see also Debian Release Notes Installer disappears when loading, black screen.
