Hmm, so strange.
You could remove quiet to see if there's more of a clue... I am surprised you
don't get more output on rcons than you do as it stands...
Excellent!
Interestingly enough, removing the "quiet" allowed me to see all the
"regular" messages and then the anaconda shell with its multiple tabs ...
Which allowed me to spot this question:
======================================
Question
You have specified that the package 'nvidia.x86_64' should be installed.
This package does not exist. Would you like to ignore this package
and continue with installation?
Please respond 'yes' or 'no':
======================================
I guess the installer was stuck waiting for my response and I couldn't
see it until I removed the "quiet" option :)
Well done !

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,adddhcpstate

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.
