Ubuntu 10.04 & HP Proliant DL180 G6

[pvanberlo]

Hi,

does anyone have any experience with installing Ubuntu 10.04 on a HP Proliant DL180 G6, especially via the LO100 virtual KVM? I can boot almost any linux distro with it, but unfortunately whenever I boot the Ubuntu server cd the screen gets garbled. I did some searching on the net, and found some references to older versions of Ubuntu where one had to add vga=771 to the boot options, but this still doesn't work with 10.04. I tried several vga modes, all to no avail (with vga=normal the screen gets garbled, with anything else the screen just stays black).

Anyone got any idea on how to fix this?

Thanks!

For anyone running into this issue, this is caused by the framebuffer. To get it working boot with vga16fb.modeset=0.
