10:50 AM <madLyfe> blade server out of chassis
10:51 AM <nacc> lol
10:52 AM <nacc> ok, so what are the internet connections?
10:52 AM <nacc> internal USB -> ethernet and a USB dongle -> ethernet?
10:53 AM <madLyfe> ya
10:53 AM <nacc> and basically the latter never works?
10:53 AM <madLyfe> so i have access to internal USB and the HP SUV/IO maintenance cable coming out the front that you can see.
10:54 AM <madLyfe> i want to get it all to run off the internal USB
10:54 AM <madLyfe> i talked to HPE support and he said you couldnt boot off the internal USB but thats not correct
10:54 AM <madLyfe> if i run just a USB key off it i can boot anything
10:56 AM <madLyfe> what is funny is that if i boot the live USB from the internal USB and have the HUB adapter run off the IO cable USB for internet then i couldnt get it to work. well i only tried once.
10:56 AM <madLyfe> but i dont want that config anyways
10:58 AM <nacc> madLyfe: so when you boot from the live usb on the internal, you don't have internet? but it does boot?
11:02 AM <madLyfe> so right now i have the live usb attached to the adapter and internet plugged into the internal usb. but i cant get it to boot, says 'non -system disk or disk error'
11:03 AM <nacc> madLyfe: sounds like an unsupported config :)
11:07 AM <madLyfe> if i take the live usb and put it on the front IO cables USB then i can boot to it and when it loads i will have internet from the adapter that is still plugged into the internal USB
11:07 AM <madLyfe> and i can also put another usb key on that hub and is recognized
11:09 AM <madLyfe> so that internal usb port does work for internet and usb storage but like not till its booted up(when using the adapter)
11:18 AM <madLyfe> so im not sure if its the adapters fault i cant boot from it?
11:47 AM <madLyfe> hmm that doesnt make any sense. how can i use the usb hub adapter from the internal USB port when i boot live USB from external port but not when i try to boot from the internal port w USB hub connected, exclusively?
11:47 AM <madLyfe> so the port works for those functions, just not from boot?
11:47 AM <nacc> madLyfe: certainly possible that's it's not a bootable port
11:48 AM <madLyfe> but if i plug the usb live key or server iso key into it exclusively and bypass the adapter it boots fine to those.
11:50 AM <madLyfe> thats why im confused
11:51 AM <madLyfe> it would make sense if it just didnt boot to anything at all
11:59 AM <madLyfe> nacc: found this in the manual: http://i.imgur.com/k7o8G4u.png wonder if it means anything? i know i switched it from legacy to standard usb 2.0 support. not sure if that matters
