The installation would always be successful, but it would just boot to = grub and then sit there. It's a rather old G1 BL460C blade, but 9.0 installs flawlessly. I didn't have time to really test it through because the server needed = to get installed and it had taken me some time to realize what had = happened. Maybe someone might want to look into this.
