I am having the same problem as anders post. I have tried 3-5 different models of PowerEdge servers and all of them have 4-8GB of memory so the 12GB max is not my problem. It hangs at "Uncompressing Linux... Ok, booting the kernel" It just hangs here indefinitely. I have created individual bundles based on model type, ie. 1950,2950 and stripped out everything I don't need to make it sleaker but to no avail. Now here is where is gets strange. If I manually update the BIOS first to the latest, 2.6.1 for the 9 series, then the ISO update boots just fine but hangs at the end with "Exit status of the script is 1" and at this point I cannot get it to reboot, alt-ctrl-delete doesn't even work. I am forced to manually power off the server. Upon powering back on I notice nothing actually updated, the bmc, drack, perc, etc are all at their old fimrware levels. Anybody have any fixes on how to create bootable media that works? I am updating large amounts of servers that are in a Non OS environment. I want to update these from the post screen before an OS is installed. I would also be willing to boot using PXE into a Windows PE environment if that's and option. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
