Re: install issue

I have some experience with supermicro hardware, and I have also seen simil=
ar things happen while using the ipmi interface. A couple of times I've tri=
ed to actually troubleshoot but I'm not really sure if I ever solved it. Ho=
wever, I am fairly confident the problem is the ipmi or the web browser rat=
her than the media, but of course Lee's tips is cheap and easy to try so do=
n't rule it out.

If it doesn't work though, try updating the ipmi, your workstations java, u=
se another browser, stuff like that. I have a feeling I might have solved a=
 similar issue like that in the past. You could also try mounting an image =
rather that a cd, or even mount it as virtual floppy, these things are usef=
ul sometimes.
