Upgrade db2112 firmware/BIOS

Description

We are trying to reimage db2112 but it is not going thru the initrd on the installer, it might be another case of T216240, so we'd like to upgrade its firmware/BIOS to see if that helps

@Papaul let me know a day/time when you want me to leave the host off for you.

Thanks!

@Papaul db2112 has mysql stopped, so you could reboot it (or power it off) whenever you feel like

Thanks! I will try the reimage tomorrow again

Unfortunately the firmware upgrades didn't fix the installer issue, the host gets stuck at:

boot:
Loading debian-installer/amd64/linux... ok
Loading debian-installer/amd64/initrd.gz...ok














Debian 10 (buster) amd64 (Wikimedia edition)

                                            boot:

The host does reimage correctly with stretch.
@MoritzMuehlenhoff any thoughts?

Spoke too soon, it took a while but it finally got into the installer!

Thanks everyone!
