Inability to boot with latest version on Hp ProLiant DL380 Gen 6 with dual Xeon L5640 server

I tried using ShredOS v2023.08.2_25.0_x86-64_0.35 on an HP ProLiant DL380 Gen 6 with 2x Xeon L5640 and 60GB RAM.
Unfortunately when it was supposed to boot and load the wiper application, the screen just went black and the system hung (hard).
I then put an older version on the same boot medium (v2021.08.2_21_x86-64_0.32.023) and that booted up just fine.
Due to time constraints I have not tried any other versions at the moment.
I would edit the two grub files on the USB stick and add noapic and/or nomodeset. Try each in turn starting with nomodeset
The older (v2021.08.2_21_x86-64_0.32.023) release does not include drm drivers so adding nomodeset to the kernel command line in both grub.cfg files will disable DRM and use frame buffer mode in the later releases that use DRM as default.
