[Bug 923594] [NEW] Will not install cleanly on this server- HP TC 2120, any version of Server...

[Mike Ferreira]

Public bug reported:

Hewlett Packard TC2120 Server (Rebranded ASUS NRL-LS motherboard)

Have tried installing Ubuntu Server, versions 12.04 alpha, 11.10, 11.04,
10.10, 10.04.  All versions fail at either the initial base system load
(such as a bootstrap error) or at an get/apt error or the package
load/configure.

If I set the vga mode at the start of the install, then I do get the
prompt to load non-free firmware for the onboard Broadcom NetXtreme.
Even after loading this, it gets the same problems...

After dropping in a vanilla Intel NIC, then it could install Server
10.04 LTS without any complaints, but... It would have apt-cache errors.
I would have to delete the  *.bin files in the apt-cache before any
update/upgrade.  It would not do a release upgrade with prompt=normal
without crashing.

I've got 5 other servers on Ubuntu Server and would like this one up on
it also.

This was reported from my main box and not from this system.  If you
want that, I'll throw this board on a test bench case and Install 10.04
on it.  Or if you want the errors from any of the other versions... Just
ask.
