[Starlingx-discuss] Baremetal installation problem

[Giuseppe Sannino]

Hi Chris,
thanks a lot for your fast reply.

I tried the "Graphical install" with the same result in the past.
Consider that if I use an Ubuntu or CentOS ISO everything is visible on the
console.

I will double check the BiOS settings in case something is missing there.

Further info, I triggered the installation by setting the Serial console
and left the "black screen " there. I connected through the iLO console
after a couple of hours and the installation was successful.
At the moment, it seems only a problem of visualizing
installation/bootstrap logs on the console.

In case of any further suggestion I will be more than happy to explore
alternatives.

Thanks again

/Giuseppe
