Kinda sucks in my opinion. Yes, their entitlement stance is unfortunate. You can still get most of it from their FTP site, e.g. ftp://ftp.hp.com/pub/softlib2/software1/cd/p1040529012/v71197/ or ftp://ftp.hp.com/pub/softlib2/software1/cd-generic/p1513074441/v101117/.

It seems there is some type of problem with the nvidia controller device. Server was returned to our dealer to repair. When it will be returned to us, I will try to install OpenBSD ... Many thanks for your help.

Unable to install openbsd 5.6 in a HP Proliant ML115 G5
Hi all, I am trying to install OpenBSD 5.6 in a HP ProlIant Ml115 G5, but install process doesn't starts ... Stops in USB detection steps. There is no error in console. This server uses Nvidia MCP55 controller device for SATA and USB devices ... Maybe is this the problem?? In OpenBSD's manual pages, I see that it is supported for ethernet: http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi/OpenBSD-5.6/man4/nfe.4?query=nvidiaapropos=1manpath=OpenBSD-5.6 Any idea??

It seems it has serial port, capture as much of dmesg as you can and attach to mail. Devs usually get angry because of missing dmesg... j. Sorry, but I haven't got a serial cable. Would it help a photo of the screen?

Some things to try: (Change only 1 thing at a time, and remember what you changed.) Try a -current snapshot. Try looking for a bios setting something like '8042 emulation' and toggle it. Try making changes to USB related settings and see if that makes any difference. It seems it has serial port, capture as much of dmesg as you can and attach to mail.
