perhaps if you manually modprobe those from console 2 it would work. I
haven't worked with i2o myself, but I know I included them on my

Len,
I tried loading this manually (I notice in expert mode that there is a message
saying that it needed this driver but could not find it) but it does not
appear to be there. My guess (but only a guess) is that it is not in the
initrd image. It certainly is not in the
/lib/modules/2.6.12.../kernel/drivers/scsi directoryat the time that it
comes to load the CD driver.

As for the network, those might be among the broadcoms that require the
bcm5700 driver instead of the tg3 driver. That one is not included in
the kernel at all, but has to be installed from the bcm5700-source
package after installing. Insert a more standard NIC to do the install
with until you can get the broadcom working I guess.

Nice server board for AMD64/EM64T?
Hi. I'm going to replace a server (keeps crashing due to some unknown reason since about a month, ran for 1year rocksolid before - I was able to limit the source to be one of mainboard, processor or RAM), and because I definately want hardware RAID and already have 8 HDs in the old server (a total of approx. 0.9TB usable), I will need an additional controller anyway, even without doing hardware RAID. Anyway: Can anyone give me recommendations for a nice board which features: 1) 2 Gigabit Ethernet ports 2) at least one PCI-X slot (if no GB-Ethernet available: 2 PCI-X slots) 3) support for a AMD64/EM64T processor Alternatively, I would be interested in recommendations for a nice SATA controller with at least 8 channels. I currently tend to a 3ware 9005-8 or -12 because I had a very good experience with my current 3ware 7508. However, if someone can recommend a good (and obviously: Linux supported) SATA controller for PCIe, I would be interested in a recommendation for a matching mainboard. Price is of course important, but stability and Linux support are far more important. I.e. given the choice between a 250$ combination of mainboard and SATA controller which runs only _mostly_ stable, and a 1000$ combination which runs _completely_ stable, I would choose the latter. cu, sven signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature

LVM allows me to resize my partitions if I need to without the issue of moving the others around since LVM doesn't care about physical location of blocks. If I shrinkg one volume I can expand another no matter where they are physically stored in the LVM, while with partitions you can only do this with adjacent partitions.

Re: Nice server board for AMD64/EM64T?
Tyan Thunder K8SR S2881. I have one of them running under Linux in a high load mail server for months now without any problems. Using Opteron 248s (bought it when those were the 2nd fastest Optis). Chipset is also AMD, long in production, very reliable. NICs: two Broadcom BCM5704C, GBit. Plus we have close to 20 of them running under W* with two Opteron 265s. Stable as can be. They eat every Intel offering in every respect - power draw, performance, price. The board starts at €404, this ones is for 1U with only two slots. There are almost identical boards with more slots like Thunder K8SD Pro S2882. I found this one for only €370, -D version is recommended as it supports DualCore (I think the non-D have disappered from the market). For SATA RAID, I use LSI MegaRAID SATA 300-8X, becuase 3ware 95xx doesn't fit into the Tyan 1U chassis (too long with SATA cables connected). The LSI so far runs perfectly (kernel 2.6.11 needed) so far, but only for some weeks by now. Sönke

Intel does not make a hardware raid chip that I am aware of. The intel960 is used on some other companies raid cards, but I have never seen it on a motherboard. Certainly the ICH7 is not a hardware raid chip. The i960 is a processor from many years ago (not x86 compatible). That's right. Used in many postscript printers and a number of raid cards to do the work. Len Sorensen -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

Re: amd64 on HP zv6130us notebook
Dave Jacobs wrote: Does anyone have any experience with installing debian-31r0a-amd64-netinst.iso on an HP zv6130us notebook? I just bought one, and on booting from the Debian netinst CD, I get the splash screen, hit ENTER to boot, and the usual boot messages scroll by for about 1-2 seconds, then suddenly the screen goes completely black and the machine hangs until forcibly rebooted (power button). Unfortunately, I can't see what the last message logged is, as it's on screen for only a brief moment. In the absence of info on this configuration, if anyone could recommend how to see the console messages which are being cleared away, I'd at least have a way to proceed with debugging this. Hi. I have a zv6169AE notebook. To install debian i passed these options: linux26 acpi=off (or was noacpi??) vga=791 As soon as you can, install a new kernel (at least 2.6.12) so you can avoid the timer problem by passing to the kernel the option no_timer_check.

Just don't try to setup the fakeraid in the bios, it won't use that, and you don't want to either. The way I tend to do it is: make 3 partitions on each drive (identical) like: sda1/sdb1 128M (for boot raid1) sda2/sdb2 10G (for root raid) What's the benefit in splitting / and /boot, when both are on RAID1 anyway? I have a 200G / on RAID1 with no issue at all (no /boot). Ehm, until sometime early this year grub couldn't boot from raid, so I used to manually mirror sda1 and sdb1 with dd everytime I made a change to one of them. :( Now that you can run grub with raid1, there is no good reason for seperate /boot anymore. Old habits die hard I guess. :) You could also use grub on raid1. The problem is installing it. You had to trick it to believe you were installing on sda1 (and once more for sdb1) and that would be hd0 on boot (where the mbr resides). That way both disks are bootable. I hope the latest grub-install script does that for you now. Also, don't forget swap. RAID1 is good for that too. Hence why I have swap on lvm on raid (So I can resize swap if I want to). If I need to resize swap that is always temporary for me and then I just add a swpafile. Len Sorensen MfG Goswin -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

You also (and here I guess) still have the package from the second source in your apt cache.
