Description

Hi all,

Using Minimal ISO install I've got a first error:
cdrom
The timeout is too quick 3x1second maybe better to do 5x3 seconds...
My resolution is wait 3seconds then CTRL-D
The prompt get-out then restart script, I agree CLUF then got second error:
zero_div
I think it don't like ILO Bios resolution which is 720x400...

Thx in Adv

Research direction

Start by reproducing a Minimal ISO installation through HP ILO at the reported 720x400 BIOS resolution. Investigate the CDROM timeout and the subsequent ZeroDivisionError shown in the attached screenshots; done means the installation proceeds without either failure.
