[Users] Unable to install ovirt node on IBM system X blade server

Hi All, I've been trying to install latest ovirt node on IBM system X blade server (UEFI based server) but not even able to start the installation. I'm using latest image ovirt-node-iso-2.5.5-0.1.fc17.iso from http://ovirt.org/releases/3.1/tools/ Server boots up and detects the ISO, gives me initial screen of Install or Upgrade / Reinstall etc. but the moment default install is selected (or it goes into default if initial screen is not interrupted for 30 seconds.) - it just waits for 3-4 seconds and the server is rebooted. These problem of server reboot persist with any available option to install on the screen. Note : I was able to successfully install RHEV-H and it worked fine. Not sure why ovirt node installation is not even starting and goes into infinite reboot loop with doing anything. Out of curiosity - I tried this version of node as well http://jenkins.ovirt.org/job/ovirt-node-iso/lastSuccessfulBuild/artifact/ovi... that too resulted in same behavior. Request Ovirt experts to assist and help resolve this issue. Thanks & Regards, Keyur

Hello All, Same is the case with Fedora install on this IBM server I am using. Regards, Keyur On Fri, Nov 16, 2012 at 12:31 PM, Keyur Makwana <kurmakwana@gmail.com>wrote:

Hello Ovirt Users, Did anyone else also faced same issue or ovirt node not getting installed and servers just reboots when option to install / upgrade / reinstall is used. Its on IBM system X server with UEFI. I've tried both latest Ovirt node and Fedora 17 also. Both gives same behavior or just reboot in loop and nothing else. I am unable to take ovirt further in my office at this moment. Kindly advice. Regards, Keyur On Fri, Nov 16, 2012 at 8:09 PM, Keyur Makwana <kurmakwana@gmail.com> wrote:

I've tested F17 on IBM bladeservers (HS20,HS21,HS22,HS22V) It's been installed correctly with UEFI as well as with legacy. Unfortunately I cannot check bladecenter with ovirt-node right now. Which bladeserver have you tested? -- Best regards, Pavel Zhukov mailto:pavel@zhukoff.net On Sun, 18 Nov 2012, Nicholas Kesick wrote:
