Hi There

I'm having difficulty installing ClearOS and hope someone can help me.

My Setup is as follows:
HPE Microserver Gen10 brand new out of the box
Toshiba 1TB Harfd Drive brand new installed in Slot1

I've followed the instructions here https://www.clearos.com/resources/documentation/clearos/content:en_us:kb_o_clearos_usb_installer
and created a USB

When I insert the usb (I've changed the boot order to pick up the USB first, secure boot is off, EUFI boot only is on) I just get this

"Some message about BASH-like line editing is supported."

then

GRUB>

(I've used ls to have a look at the USB drive and there is a EFI/BOOT/BOOTX64.EFI present)

Where am I going wrong?

Thanks

    It may even be the luck of the draw. I generally use Win32diskimager but with the 7.4 test ISO, a USB stick produces a core dump after the first menu, but a MicroSD works. In the past I've also used Linux Live USB Creator with success.

    Sorted!

    I used Rufus for windows instead of DD to create the USB

    Hope this helps someone else

    Hi Dave,

    Thanks for your reply.

    I think the server only comes pre-loaded if you purchase it with a hard drive installed, I bought mine bare.

    I've downloaded the latest ISO and followed the instructions to load to a USB, but get the error as above

    The HPE Microserver Gen 10 should come with ClearOS pre-installed. See if the box will simply boot into ClearOS without booting to USB.

    If you have provided the hard disk, then to install ClearOS you will need to create some boot media. Your options are:

    DVD
    USB

    Which can be used in:

    DVD connected to media bay at the top of the MicroServer
    USB DVD connected to any USB port
    USB thumb drive formatted with ClearOS installation media.

    You can download the latest ClearOS ISO from here:

    http://mirror.clearos.com/clearos/7/iso/x86_64/

    Once you have the ISO file, you need to image the disk. You can use instructions here:

    https://www.clearos.com/resources/documentation/clearos/content:en_us:kb_o_clearos_usb_installer

    The MicroServer will boot the USB in many ways, including a boot menu. I typically use the deliberate method from within the BIOS by entering the BIOS and on the Save tab, selecting my boot device from the bottom of that page.

    The error you received usually happens if the USB has been improperly formatted. You should reset the BIOS defaults, save, and then try again.
