We have been trying to get the Centos7 i386 image to work on a dedicated server (Custom ISO).

We have tried via the main interface.

We have tried via the Web Browser KVM (terrible experience).

We have tried to raise a ticket and cannot!

So, how do you get a custom ISO to load on server?
Have tried everything except using the API, for one server, this seems excessive.
I know the Java apelet had a better information, but it is not interactive (kind of needed)?

My question is has anyone done it and know how to do it?

Hello,
If by "main interface", you mean the website and the Bring Your Own Image feature, it is meant to be used with a QCOW2/RAW cloud-ready image. It would only make sense if you had a lot of servers to reinstall with the same OS.
The Web and Java KVM are provided by the motherboard/BMC manufacturer, sadly there isn't much we at OVHcloud can do about the way they behave.
If want to boot from an ISO image, the KVM is the easiest way (the alternative being to run a VM while booted in customer rescue but that is way more complex).
In my experience, the Java applet usually offers slightly better performance but it is a bit harder to make it start whereas the Web KVM works out-of-the-box.
