HP Microserver gen8 problem when booting from USB-stick

Recommended Posts

Hi guys,

 

Hope I'm in the right thread now. I have created a usb-drive with DS3622xs (TCRP-0.9.4.9) for my HP Microserver gen 8. Everything works great until I reboot the server. Then I end up with Grub rescue and that's it. I have 4 disc drives that I have detached and one SSD connected to ODD. But for some reason booting from internal USB drive key doesn't work. Booting works when I created the USB on my PC but not when I build it in TCRP. I have no clue why? Any help is much appreciated. I have googled for answers but I haven't found any.

Hi,

 

Please make sure you have C1E disabled in BIOS. This may have been reset for many reasons. (generic and not related to grub rescue issue)

 

SD-Card will never work unless its on a USB reader.

 

USB VID:PID should be set correctly otherwise DSM might think its a disk and will try to format it.

What's C1E? I have checked VID:PID and it's correct. Not sure what else I can do.

I was having the same issue, different server. Tried DS3622xs+ and DS918+ both with the same result. Also made sure that all C states and EIST (SpeedStep) were off.

Turned out that my BIOS was trying to boot the UEFI USB as Legacy. Switched to always boot UEFI and no problems now.
