Problems with PXE booting HP blade


Hi

Im trying to install an HP blade. Its been set up to PXE boot, the tftp/dhcp has been configured. The tftp and dhcp servers has been used for other HP blades and have worked without problems.

The first time i PXE booting the HP blade it went fine without any problems and kickstart started the installation of the blade. After phase two of the installation, the server was going to boot and then it was hanging on "loading grub, please wait.." ..so since the kickstart script re-install the grub bootloader i rebootet the computer and PXE booted the machine again. This time it got an address from dhcp and right before it was going to display the menu i get a black screen with no info/menu on at all..it seems like its just hanging (the cursor is blinking, but its only a black screen that is being displayed)

Does someone know why i suddenly dont get up the menu anymore? dhcp and tftp seems to works fine and they worked fine for other hp blades. There has not been any changes done to the kickstart file etc. from the first pxe to the second. Help is appericiated.

Issue solved, but another problem has now come. After installation and the machine is booting, i get the message "attempting to boot from c:" and nothing else happens at all.. the blades are installed on a SAN, but the blades also have internal disks. Does someone know why nothing is happening after the "attempting to boot from c:" message?
