![]() I thought the updates corrupted the installation but that actually wasn’t the case. Then I decided to boot a Linux live image, which worked fine, narrowing down the issue to the OS installation (device) itself. I reset the server several times via iLO but the issue persisted and I had no idea what exactly went bonkers here. Almost, because on one of the servers I ran into the following issue:Īfter rebooting the host, the BIOS POST completed fine and the Proliant D元60p Gen8 server should now boot the ESXi OS from it’s attached USB SD card where ESXi was installed but instead it displayed this unsightly screen telling something went very, very wrong: It can happen with Windows, Linux or any other OS as well as other boot media such as normal disks/RAID arrays, if the server has a problem booting from this device (broken boot sector/partition/boot loader etc).Ī couple of weeks ago I was updating a few HP Proliant D元60p Gen8 servers running ESXi on a local SD card with ESXi patches via VUM, so business as usual. Important note: The general symptom of such a Red Screen of Death described here is NOT specific to ESXi or booting from SD cards in general. Whether this is the same issue is unclear though since the original KB article I linked to has not been updated. As per Jason’s comment, with a new ILO4 update HP apparently has fixed an issue related to booting from SD cards. ![]()
