==Failure modes and boot codes==

If the machine immediately goes to state FF and doesn't leave, the CPU output ports are not being written to. You have either a bad motherboard, at least one bad processor, and/or at least one badly-seated processor.

Sometimes the IPMI subsystem gets fucked, manifesting in missing sensor values. I've managed to repair this with <tt>ipmitool mc reset cold</tt>. Wait for a few minutes, and see if running <tt>ipmi-sensors</tt> doesn't now show all expected samples.

==Virtual boot media==

The BMC allows you to supply an ISO as virtual boot media...but it requires a SAMBA share. You'll want "server min protocol = NT1" in your <tt>smb.conf</tt> if you're seeing errors along the lines of "Requested protocol [NT LM 0.12]" in your samba logs.
