Centos – iLO 3 CentOS 7 Install hangs

centosiloinstallation

HP DL 360 G7

Using the stand-alone program, iLO Integrated Remote Console, I can mount a Virtual Drive and point to the CentOS 7 iso. I can boot to the iso using the one-time menu (F11) without issue but at some point during the installer it hangs. Usually, hanging will be either at Network Manager or Plymouth Boot Screen.

Because this server is in a remote location, I'd rather install over iLO. Otherwise, I'd be sending a DVD to the remote location which is obviously more involved. I have reset the iLO over ssh but still have the issue.

BIOS and iLO are from 2018 (newest)

Has anyone else seen similar issues?

It's been a while, but I've seen iLO freeze much like that. Before you do anything else make sure you have the latest updates applicable.
