           Summary: Fail to boot after installing on HP ProLiant DL385 G6
                    ("illegal opcodes")
           Product: Skolelinux
           Version: lenny-rc1
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P3
         Component: System distrubution
        AssignedTo: debian-edu@lists.debian.org
        ReportedBy: pere@hungry.com


Viggo Fedreheim in Narvik discovered this problem when installing Lenny-test
on a new server.  The installation went well, but when the system tried to boot
from the hard disk, GRUB failed to start and reported "illegal opcodes".
He went ahead and installed Ubuntu instead, and this time the system
booted as it should.

A proposed workaround is in
http://www.howtofixcomputers.com/forums/hp/hp-proliant-dl580-g3-illegal-opcode-89814.html
, suggesting to update the boot sequence on the server using a Ubuntu live CD. 
Viggo was going to test it.  Not sure if it worked for him.
