Eu construí um servidor de instalação PXE que instala o Ubuntu 15.04 usando um script Kickstart e está funcionando bem em VMs VMWare/Virtual Box. Instalação de 15 minutos no máximo.
Eu tentei isso ontem no Dell R710 e o processo inicial de inicialização do TFTP não é um problema e o instalador é executado e (apenas sem% de postagens) fornece uma mensagem de sucesso de instalação e reinicia. O servidor então BIOS POST fica preso em uma tela preta (VGA e DRAC). Parece estar recebendo um endereço IP (DHCP), mas nenhum SSH (script Kickstart).
'Gravar' o mesmo ISO que estou instalando na web em um pen drive USB é instalado e inicializado corretamente.

se funcionar em clientes diferentes, mas falhar com uma tela preta no seu Dell R710, você deve pensar em um problema de driver de vídeo.
