When you see nothing, is this the video or the serial terminal seeing nothing?
The serial terminal, I'm doing the installation remotely.
And I do see some messages right after the boot, but then, nothing else
I've enclosed a log of the boot process taken from the serial console.

Hi ,Nicolas
I see that the message output with the driver ,so question here
1: do you have any GPU install in this server
indeed there are two Nvidia GPU installed.
2: can you try to disable the nouveau on os install ?
In fact I already tried that, the messages disappears on the console, but still
the server doesn't boot further.
And also, the first time I somehow managed to install the server, I did it
without changing the default kernel options.
The "rcons" console supposedly works because I can use it if I boot the server
on the local drives (it has been installed once using xcat).
I suspect I might have hanged something inadvertently, but cannot find what
causes the server not to boot further when re-installing it ...
I recall there is maybe a way to "ssh" into the server while it is installing,
but couldn't make it work (it is CentOS 7.3).
Method to disable the dirver
R::rd.driver.blacklist=nouveau R::nouveau.modeset=0
Example for node01
[root@mgt ~]# tabdump bootparams
#node,kernel,initrd,kcmdline,addkcmdline,dhcpstatements,adddhcpstatements,comments,disable
"node01","xcat/osimage/rhels7.2-x86_64-install-compute/vmlinuz","xcat/osimage/rhels7.2-x86_64-install-compute/initrd.img","quiet
inst.repo=http://172.20.0.1:80/install/rhels7.2/x86_64 inst.ks=http://172.20.0.1:80/install/autoinst/node01 ip=dhcp
inst.cmdline console=tty0 console=ttyS0,115200n8r","R::rd.driver.blacklist=nouveau R::nouveau.modeset=0",,,,
[root@mgt ~]#
[root@mgt ~]# lsdef node01 | grep addkcmdline
addkcmdline=R::rd.driver.blacklist=nouveau R::nouveau.modeset=0
hope this help

Subject: [External] [xcat-user] HP DL380 Gen9 and xCat
Hello,
I'm trying to install a HP Proliant DL380 Gen9, in "Legacy BIOS" mode.
The server has been integrated into xcat, but every time I try to install it
(nodeset osimage), the server boots, download the initrd, and nothing happens.
When I launch the console (rcons), it looks like "stuck", without any messages
beside these:

I know this has worked, because the server could be installed once.
But now I try to re-install it, and nothing happens.
I setup xcat in debug mode (1), but there are no specific messages into the
logs.
What could I look for in order to debug this installation?
Thanks.
