Comments/Problems:
PALO isn't very intuitive, but I eventually got the machine netbooted
using the serial console and the built-in Tulip network interface.
A normal network boot stopped with this error:
tg3.c:v3.86 (November 9, 2007)
tg3: (0000:30:00.0) phy probe failed, err -19
tg3: Problem fetching invariants of chip, aborting.
followed by a system alert from the HP's firmware.
PALO reports that the boot image contains 0/vmlinux32, 0/vmlinux64 and
0/ramdisk, but that it will try to boot 0/linux - however, it turns out
that editing the command line to start with 0/vmlinux64 causes failure,
and leaving it as 0/linux succeeds. No idea why this is the case.
Anyway, inserting "tg3.blacklist=true" into the command line avoids the
tg3 failure, after which the machine works fine. Presumably this is
because the tg3's firmware is non-free and therefore missing. It'd be
nice if the kernel wouldn't even try to load a module that will cause
an abort, though.
