Install Ubuntu 12.4 Server on IBM X3300 M4 Server

Asked by Husen Daudi

I bought new IBM server X3300 M4 and Tried to install Ubuntu 12.4 Server 64bit.
Installation process go well and completed. After installation I removed bootable drive and my server keep restarting and says boot fail message.

I tried Desktop version and I get same issues of restarting server and boot fail.

I search a lot on google and found that there are specific ubuntu versions for IBM servers and in the list X3300 server is not there.

Is there any way to install ubuntu on IBM X3300 M4 server?

I am not the only one who face this issue.

You should check the BIOS if it has a kind of boot safety mechanism, like boot sector write protection.
