EFW Installation on ML110 G8

I am trying to install the latest EFW Community Edition on a HP ML110 G8 and after booting up, the installation cannot detect the CDROM to proceed with the installation.

Any smart ways out of this and afterwards, will it see the HDD and NIC's?

I installed on ML110 G5, no problem when installing but sometimes it freezes. I tried on 2 ML110 G5.
you can try to install from usb storage or from usb cdrom.

Thanks.

Will try using an external (usb) CDROM and see if I can get past this first error. I am still worried about the HDD since they may be sharing the same controller. Will update the post later on today if I succeed.

The external ROM works but it gets to a point where it just flashes a blue screen and does not proceed. On Alt F3, I am seeing an error to do with USB ports not being detected  and a "FATAL - 82152 module not found" error.

Is this a known error and what is the workaround?

I finally solved this problem.

If your installation of EFW 3.0 boots to the BLUE screen and flickers there, consider getting into your setup and changing the SATA mode to ACHI. I did this on an ML 310 G8 server and it's up and running now. All the best and easy securing ! ! !
