HP Proliant ML530 G2 is pretty old device these days and to install modern linux on it require some tricks.

• System CPU's is not x86_64 compatible, so go for i586 distro, openSUSE Tumbleweed i586
• To fix HP Smart Array 6400 driver, add to installer kernel cmdline: cciss.cciss_allow_hpsa=0
• To fix kernel hang with video with ATI Rage in installer, add to installer kernel cmdline:  nomodeset
•  To fix video ATI Rage in system installer, add to installer kernel cmdline: console=ttyS0 console=tty textmode=1
• To fix video with ATI Rage in GRUB, after installation is finished mount root with chroot:

mount -o bind /proc /tmp/chroot/proc
mount -o bind /sys /tmp/chroot/sys
mount -o bind /dev /tmp/chroot/dev
chroot /tmp/chroot /bin/bash

• Edit GRUB2 config /etc/default/grub:

 GRUB_TERMINAL="console"

• Rebuild grub config and reboot.

Now you can boot into installed system fine 8)
