Title:
  Will not install cleanly on this server- HP TC 2120, any version of
  Server...

Status in “debootstrap” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  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.
