I have an "old" R620 that in a previous life was used as a ESX host. The machine has a 1GB SD card with which had the VMware software on it. I have installed ubuntu on the HD.
No matter what I do the machine always defaults to booting from SD card.
The problem is that The boot order just has HD C: which does not have separate entries for the SD and the HD. It always boots from the SD unless one explicitly tells it to boot from the HD in the "BIOS boot " (F 11 ) where you get two options when you select "C:".
I have formatted the SD so it nolonger boots ESX, instead it now complains that there are no bootable system.
During the Ubuntu install I made sure that the SD was not set as a boot device and that the SD was.
The only other thing I can think of is to get data center staff to remove the SD card.
Any other suggestions?
