I'm trying to install Ubuntu 22.04 on an R620, but no success so far...

BIOS Version is 2.9.0

Tried with Ubuntu 18.04 and Ubuntu 20.04, no success.

I already tried through a USB Bootable device and iDrac/virtual CD in BIOS and UEFI modes + AHCI and ATA modes. (Can't try with RAID because isn't an option.)

Also tried through Lifecycle Controller in both BIOS and UEFI modes, no success.

When I try in BIOS mode, an empty purple screen appears and it goes into a black screen after, and nothing happens.

When bios is in UEFI mode, grub install screen appears (install ubuntu screen), but when I select the option to install, also goes into a black screen and nothing happens.

I'm without options :/

Thanks in advance!

This scenario could have if your ISO is corrupted or files are missing, it happens transferring the ISO or downloading it that some interruptions for X reason occurred. I would recommend sha256 checksum before creating a bootable usb stick, depending on your OS.

if you are on Ubuntu: https://ubuntu.com/tutorials/how-to-verify-ubuntu#1-overview

if you are on windows, using rufus to create a bootable ISO shall do it automatically for you and provide warnings if there's a mismatch.

EDIT

Try to boot into ubuntu using 'nomodest' option

  • Boot into grub on UEFI mode and select try or install ubuntu
  • Instead of 'Enter' click 'e' to edit the entry
  • Find the line which start with linux /boot/vmlinuz-5.4.0-xx-generic and add nomodest at the end of the lign.
  • Press Crtl+x or F10 to boot with the modified parameter.

Hope this helps.
