G'day, I have a problem where a new SLES8 installation fails to boot and hangs just prior to either the grub boot loader prompt, during the prompt or at the Grub loading stage 2 prompt. I did initially manage to install the O/S and run YOU all without fault however I decided to reboot before installing the required app' and this is when the problem first appeared. I am trying to install SLES8 on an HP DL380 with a SMART Array Controller. I have since blown away and reconfigured the array controller configuration several times, including after a firmware upgrade. I have performed several clean installations of SLES8 and have still not been able to boot normally. As I use the array controller I have found that I have to use the SP4 CD to start the installation to see the disks and I can easily boot to the installed O/S using the same media. We have another server of identical hardware running SLES 8 in a full production capacity without fault. I have searched forums, knowledge bases, etc and have not found anything that has provided a remedy. Thanks in advance for any assistance provided. Cheers Jason. ---------------------------------------------------------------- CONFIDENTIALITY NOTICE AND DISCLAIMER - The information in this transmission may be confidential and/or protected by legal professional privilege, and is intended only for the person or persons to whom it is addressed.
