I have 1 controller. I‘ve set it as the boot controller. I‘ve put HDD boot option as my top option in the boot order. Still nothing. Is there maybe something on the grub side that I could‘ve messed up?

I'm trying to set up my DL380 G7 as a home server, but I cannot seem to get it to boot.

I installed Gentoo, of which the minimal LiveUSB booted just fine, and I set everything up according to the gentoo handbook. After I was done with the installation and rebooted, it couldn't seem to find my installation at all. Symptom: I tell it to boot from HDD, black screen for a while, and then it just reboots.

AFAIK, I set up everything correctly. My HDD uses MBR, with the first partition being the xfs boot partition. I also installed grub for a non-EFI system (the DL380 G7 doesn't support efi, right) without any errors.

Pls help, I'm at my wit's end
