Trouble installing Vicibox Redux 3.1.6 64 bit on HP DL380 G5

Good Day,

Im having trouble installing Vicibox Redux 3.1.6 64 bit on our HP DL380 G5.
Here's the scenario: After os-install and rebooting, i only get blank screen. Basically after it boots the kernel.

I only used RAID 0 on my server.

Thank you in advance vicidial team ...

Hey williamconley,

Thanks for all the help.

I've finally make the vicibox 3.1.8 work on HP DL380 G5.

I followed the thread you posted here and combined with the tips and tricks of kumba on puting nomodeset in the kernel bootup.

Just want to share what i got through:

1st Problem: After os-install and booting to hard disk, it hangs.
Solution: Boot the other kernel which is 2.6.34.7-0.7

2nd Problem: After os-install and booting to hard disk, blank screen.
Solution: Just add nomodeset at the end of the line when you edit the kernel config.

Either you can do it by booting up on the live cd and mounting the drive or edit it using grub on bootup.

Vicidial team rocks ...

Cheers (^_^)

2nd Problem: After os-install and booting to hard disk, blank screen.

When your in the grub-screen to select kernel (right after bios):

have the kernel you want to boot selected
press e
go to the row starting with "kernel"
press e
go to the end of that line and write nomodeset and press enter
and then press b to boot

to make this prescient in OpenSuSE (as root):

run application yast
choose "System" then "Boot loader"
tab your way to the kernel your using and tab to "edit"
add nomodeset at the end of the field "optional kernel command line parameters"
and then "ok"

in debian/ubuntu (as root)

edit /etc/default/grub
add nomodeset to GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX, like this:
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="nomodeset"
if you have something there already just separate that and nomodeset with a space
save
run the command: update-grub

if your not able to boot the system, start a live-cd and:

mount the partition with the system, example:
mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/
and mount other filesystems needed
mount -t proc proc /mnt/proc
mount -o bind /dev /mnt/dev
mount -o bind /sys /mnt/sys
and chroot into the mount-point
chroot /mnt/ /bin/bash
now you can do the step I explained above.
