Bug Description

I have problems installing Dapper Flight 4 on a HP Blade over the ILO Remote Console (works with Firefox and JAVA). After booting the system with attached Flight 4 CD the installation menu is displayed correctly. But if i select server and hit return, the Linux kernel starts and after few seconds the Conole display is black.

I try to change the VGA Mode with F3 to 600 x 600 x 24 and this works. The normal installation procedure starts.

The first boot shows the same problem. The screen is after the Grub message black. I changed the grub kernel line to:

kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.15-15-amd64-generic root=/dev/cciss/c0d0p1 ro fb800x600 quiet

To avoid problems with update-grub, i used the following modifications in /boot/grub/menu.lst:

# kopt=root=/dev/cciss/c0d0p1 ro fb800x600
# defoptions=quiet

I tested the 6.06.2 server cd without success. I see the first screen, but I have to specifify 800x600 with the F4 key. Without F4, i see only a black sreen. I upgraded the ILO Firmware to the last release before I test the 6.06.2.
