最近向HP借來一台DL 580 G5 的怪物伺服器來測試，怪物?!看了規格就知道
CPU:4顆CPU，每個CPU都是6核心，共計24個核心
記憶體:88GB
硬碟:˙72GB SAS 15K RPM 兩顆
夠怪物了吧(不過十年後說是怪物，可能會被笑吧~"~)
這怪物，使用HP SmartStart8.15開機跑完load畫面後就一片漆黑@@!，使用Firmware maintenance CD 8.3也是同樣的現象，後還連絡HP的工程師後得知，smartstart8.1版以後,伺服器超過64GB會有這樣的問題，必須要進入"秘技模式"才能解決!!蝦米秘技模式，不會是要按上上下下左左右右.....
回歸正題~
使用smartstart或Firmware maintenance CD開機後，進入畫面後立刻按ESC及出現詢問是否要進入TXT模式，選擇"是"
進入TXT模式後輸入 sos mem=4G,然後按ENTER即可進入繼續安裝了!!

Original document release
ProLiant servers configured with equal to or greater than 64 GB of memory may stop responding when booting the SmartStart Release 8.10 CD or the Firmware Maintenance CD Version 8.20. When this occurs, the CD will stop responding and a blank screen will be displayed after the initial CD splash screen appears.
This issue occurs because of a configuration anomaly in the kernel parameter on the CD when certain memory sizes are loaded.
SCOPE
Any ProLiant server configured with equal to or greater than 64 GB of memory and booting the SmartStart Release 8.10 CD or the Firmware Maintenance CD Version 8.20.
RESOLUTION
As a workaround, while booting the SmartStart Release 8.10 or the Firmware Maintenance CD Version 8.20, perform the following to prevent the CD unresponsiveness:
- From the first graphical screen, press the ESC key.
- Choose to enter text mode.
- At the prompt, type "sos mem=4G" and press the ENTER key.
A future version of the SmartStart CD and the Firmware Maintenance CD will allow the CDs to boot normally when the server is configured with equal to or greater than 64 GB of memory. This advisory will be updated when additional information becomes available.
