Package: installation-reports Boot method: netinst iso, cdrom boot Image version: etch beta2 & daily July 26, 2006 Date: July 26th evening.
Machine: AMD CPU, NForce2 mobo Chipset. Processor: AMD Athlon XP 2500+ Memory: 512 MB Partitions: this is typed in by hand since I can't boot the system: hda, hdc both 120 GB disks: hda1: 50 MB ext3 mounted to /boot hda2: 650 MB swap hda5: (rest) raid autodetect hdc1: 700 swap hdc5: (test) raid autodetect hdf/hdg: exists but dont take part of the installation in any way. Output of lspci and lspci -n: (missing) Base System Installation Checklist: [O] = OK, [E] = Error (please elaborate below), [ ] = didn't try it Initial boot worked: [O] Configure network HW: [O ] Config network: [O ] Detect CD: [O ] Load installer modules: [O ] Detect hard drives: [ O] Partition hard drives: [ O] Create file systems: [O ] Mount partitions: [O ] Install base system: [O ] Install boot loader: [ O] Reboot: [ O] Comments/Problems: The machine is set to install on /dev/md0 raid1. The installer worked like a charm, and on reboot into the live system I end up with major failure, the scripts try to start the raid system with mdrun but I end up with the error; "mdadm: cannon open device /dev/hda5: Device or resource busy" When I attempt to mount /dev/hda1 I end up with the same error. An installation using guided partition onto hda only succeeds, and the system boots up fine. The hardware I have installed is: - PVR-250 capture card - Ethernet card - GForce2 MX - PATA IDE interface providing hdf/hdg I was going to try installs without various cards, but considering the base install works fine, it didn't look like a hardware conflict/issue. If you _need_ any of the above, I'll see what I can do, generally rescue doesnt work for me because it doesnt seem to detect the raid1 and offer that as a 'root' option. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
