Nope. It installed fine on an old Dell 2850 I have under my desk (makes a dandy foot warmer when running).

Subject: [security-onion] problem installing SO 12.04 new release on DL380 G5 server

Hi all,

I was trying the new release 12.04 and wanted to install it on a HP DL380 G5 server we had in storage..

I burned the CD
Booted from the CD
Choose install in the SO boot menu

And then blank screen. I don't see the Xubuntu logo which normally appear with a activity/progress bar below it.

My disk act funny so i suspect this really isn't a SO problem but a Xubuntu problem by not having the drivers for the disk controller... But i figured a Linux distro should have drivers for such a old server and therefore figured i would start here...

Anyone have had this issue?

Sincerely

Casper

Did you follow the instructions here?
http://code.google.com/p/security-onion/wiki/Installation#What's_the_RECOMMENDED_procedure_for_installing_Security_On

Did you verify the checksum of the ISO image?

Are you sure your hardware supports 64-bit OS?

Thanks,
Doug

I had to use the nomodeset option when booting Hp hardware to get a display.

Have you had any luck installing an Ubuntu variant on this machine?  Can you install Ubuntu 12.04 Server?

When booting the ISO image, notice at the bottom of the screen it says
"press Tab to edit options".
