Worked fine, needs firmware Xen 4.1 kernel crash without dom0_mem limit at 2048 (1024 is too low) NIC 1 & 2 not recognized in squeeze because of the missing firmware. Worked mostly fine, needs firmware-netxen.
Installing the firmware-linux-nonfree package solves this issue (not sure if not installing it penalizes the CPU too much though). VGA is Radeon, and complains about the firmware missing (no acceleration, reduced 2D performance). On booting I found the message "modprobe: module dm-raid45 not found in p" which I fixed editing /usr/share/initramfs-tools/hooks/dmraid and changing dmraid-45 into dmraid You only need to edit the installer commandline to add dmraid=true as explained in SataRaid wiki page.
I know this is a really, really old server but all the more you'd want Debian/linux on it. The installer comes pre-loaded with additional non-free firmware blobs which helps as you don't need to modify the official iso's. If you use the installer on the link it should work fine except for what was mentioned on the installation report. I have no idea why this was necessary, I had /dev/cdrom dvd and sg0 and they all mounted fine which basically means there we're 3 devices pointing to my optical drive and yet the installer is not able to detect it. It will take you to a shell - check /dev and mount what you suspect is your optical drive (mount /dev/* /mnt works, no need for options) and if it works then you're good to go, alt-f2 to go back to the installer menus. I'm not sure why but to fix it: press alt-f1 then enter. It says it's unable to detect it or it would just hang on that page. The Debian installer complains when it tries to detect the cd-rom/dvd. Had to set "Enable SATA AHCI" under "System Options" in BIOS to get it booting from hard drive.

(1) Before installation, extract Debian firmware source package and place all tg3 files to root folder of the USB thumb drive for loading network driver during installation (2) Set UEFI BIOS in bootup setting (3) Manual partition during installation, create a 100MB partition and set as type EFI Post-install warnings about missing tg3 firmware in update-initramfs: installed firmware-linux-nonfree. 3) kernel parameters: nofb nomodeset nosplash vga=normal video=vesafb:off (may not all have been necessary) to get more than first few boot messages on local console. 2) Tape Autoloader not detected until installed kernel 4.6.3 from Jessie backports. Installation itself straightforward (100 MB UEFI boot, 500 MB boot, rest LVM PV).Īfter installation and boot from internal storage some fixes: 1) firmware-linux-nonfree required for tg3. Used HP's "Intelligent Provisioning" to configure RAID devices before starting installation. Smart Array P440ar, SAS to HP 1-8 G2 Tape Autoloader, RAID-1 and 10 (System will beep before bootloader starts however.) No need to disable AHCI if boot order is configured appropriately in BIOS or iLO4.

Solution is to install firmware-linux-nonfree Adding "nomodeset" to kernel command line works around the issue in Stretch. HP recommends to edit the kernel command line (for RHEL), but it does not work with Stretch. Works fine, but after reboot no display visible. Had to configure the "HPE Dynamic Smart Array B140i" (software RAID) to AHCI mode appending "vga=normal fb=false" to the kernel command line solves this issue, see also Debian Release Notes Installer disappears when loading, black screen.
