I have a dl380g8 that has a cx3 in the flex lom slot. HP_0230240019 is what shows for psid. I did update the firmware to 2.42.5030 which is the latest afaik. the issue continued. pxe boot just errors showing port 2 connected. if i manually set the ethernet device in linux it works just fine. due to hp's bios settings it will only look at the flex lom cards for pxe boot. any thoughts on whats going on? other machines have no issues with pxe and this machine if manually configured from linux works.

I have a qsfp to sfp+ with a MC3208411-T Mellanox Compatible SFP 1000Base 100m RJ45 Module to go to copper. if that is the problem for booting would a cisco sfp+ cable work as i have a sfp uplink slot open on my catalyst 6500?
