I recently bought a HP MicroServer N54L and a HP Remote Access Card. Connecting to the server over a KVM viewer for BIOS setup etc. works fine, but when it comes to installing Ubuntu 14.04. the automatic network authentication fails, telling me:
Your network is probably not using the DHCP protocoll. Alternatively, the DHCP server may be slow or some network hardware is not working properly" (it offers to retry or retry with specific DHCP).
The RAC uses DHCP, as it got its IP address automatically.
Now my questions are:
Do I also have to plug in the onboard network card or can I use the RAC as my only network adapter?
Why is Ubuntu not able to autodetect? Is this correct and I need to manually configure it (if so how?) or is there a simple mistake I might have done?
Any help appreciated!
Thanks!
