Hi,
I've been struggling to get my HP microserver N40L booting from the latest iso image (I've checked the sha256 checksum to be sure it's correct) and I'm hoping someone might be able to help.
I initially tried creating a bootable usb stick (2gb) from the iso, but that failed (I tried several methods of doing this including USB disk creator in ubuntu and dd). It's probably worth noting that I did install Ubuntu from the usb stick so I know it boots from usb devices.
My next attempt was to burn the iso to CD and use a USB CD drive (the N40L doesn't have one and I don't have a spare one knocking around). That's also just failed.
The symptoms in both cases are that I'm asked to supply some bootable media. If I didn't know better I'd say the image was missing a MBR, but it's much more likely that I'm missing something.
For those who know about the N40L (I saw a few of you when I was searching the forum prior to posting this) I've not yet upgraded the BIOS, I don't expect that to make a difference (or will it???).
Does anyone have any idea what's going on?
Thanks in advance.
