Seems the memory snafu has hit once again. The kernel used in mdk 9.0 (and of course cooker) does not allow older Proliant hardware to boot with more than 16 megs of RAM using the usual mem= statements.
To use all your memory you will need to use the "mem=<memory>@16M" notation, where <memory> is total RAM minus 16 Megs. EG: 384 megs of ram is represented as: "mem=368M@16M" This includes cooker and MDK 9.0 installation. Installation fails without this. Cheers! Don.

Yes. The first and last IP of a netblock are not usable. Since the netmask is 255.255.255.0, that means that 192.168.1.0 and 192.168.1.255 are not usable as addresses. They are reserved for network usage. Your usable addresses are from .1 to .254. Most people use either .1 or .254 for the gateway outbound (and in recent years, most seem to be using .1) Change your IP and that's one problem that will go away. Blue skies...
