I'm having a hell of a time booting from USB from one of my HP blades. Known good USB thumb drive, and multiple others I've made just to be 1000% sure have all failed. Using the ILO, I've attempted to pass through the USB drive and boot from it that way as well to no avail.
I need to boot into ubuntu so I can update the firmware on my Mellanox card. I have spare blades, so my worst case it so swap to another blade, but it sure would be nice to update this guy rather than chunk it. Thoughts on a methedology for booting that I could employ here? My only other thought has been to try a USB CD just on the off chance its thumb drives that aren't jiving, but I've had no issues with any of the other blades.
