I had the problem recently with DL380G6 and this other OS. We usually configure the RAID subsystem and then perform an unattended deployment via PXE. During the installation phase a local reboot is performed after which the installation should proceed. But with this machines (and maybe others) the reboot results in a red screen. The weired observation is that just starting the deployment process a second time can't reproduce this error condition. We have extracted the MBRs of machines before, in and after this error condition and found that the partition tables are different... Perhaps you can check this on your machines? As said before we have hard times to reproduce the red screen after we successfully installed a machine. But exchanging the bootloader in the MBR with random stuff or zeroing it out will result in a red screen. After reimplanting a valid bootloader again the red screen will not occur. Well, reboot cycles, the way we configure the RAID subsystem and much other stuff might have influence on this misbehave. I'm really interested if you can solve this problem somehow.
