I have found a howto on the internet (http://feraga.com/) but that one does not seem to work for me. Is it actually possible to create an USB rescue/boot disk that contains a Debian Etch AMD64 or i386 based installation? Is there an image available somewhere (as the Debian Live Project does not have such an image (yet?) )? http://www.debian-administration.org/articles/179 Thank you, Mark Adrian Coetser [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.tux-edo.co.za, http://www.thummb.com cel: +27 76 527 8789 tel: +27 11 805 2076 fax: +27 11 805 2330 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

RE: Unable to eject cdrom???
Usually it means that something is still accessing the mount point, you could try Bash#lsof | grep /cdrom/mountpoint To see what is still accessing the cd/dvd Thank you, Mark Adrian Coetser [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.tux-edo.co.za, http://www.thummb.com cel: +27 76 527 8789 tel: +27 11 805 2076 fax: +27 11 805 2330 -Original Message- From: Joost Kraaijeveld [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 07 February 2006 03:16 PM To: Debian-Amd64 Subject: Unable to eject cdrom??? Hi, Intermittently I am unable to eject my dvd/cdrom. Is there a way to determine whether Linux is refusing to eject the dvd/cdrom or if it is a hardware related problem? -- Groeten, Joost Kraaijeveld Askesis B.V.

RE: Is there a known problem with formatting ext3 partitions on AMD-64
I have done quite a few installations onto different hardware/storage devices and have only had one issue quite recently using an intel (megaraid) SATA controller and that was hardware related, I could see the logical raid 5 device as /dev/sda and I could partition it but when doing a mke2fs -j /dev/sda1 right at the end of creating the ext3 filesystem it would kernel panic.

It is an AMD-64 and has a DPT RAID card. The disks appear on the I2O bus. The Debian installer recognises them (once I have told it to load the right driver), and partitions them, but there is a problem when it comes to formatting them for EXT-3. Either through the installer, or manually on VC2, the format seems to go OK, but when I come to mount it, mount complains of an invalid parameter. The manual mount command I tried was:- mount -t ext3 /dev/i2o/hda/part1 /target /target exists, as does the /dev/i2o/hda/part1. The I2O maintainer is a bit confused as to why the disk is not called /dev/i2o/hda1, but that appears to be a Debianism. I also tried putting a small IDE drive on this box, and then I tried to format it using the installer, and that hung at 100%.

RE: can't mount raid 5 after installation
you shouldnt have to load any modules as long as they are configured as modules, all you need to do is create a /etc/mdadm/mdadm.conf with the following (changed to your devices) DEVICE /dev/hd[bcd]1 ARRAY /dev/md0 UUID=3ab15009:10842ae2:c17e96db:d9376d90 And then modify /etc/default/mdadm and set AUTOSTART=true and hopefully if you have modified /etc/fstab to mount it correctly your system should mount home on start Thank you, Mark Adrian Coetser [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.tux-edo.co.za, http://www.thummb.com cel: +27 76 527 8789 tel: +27 11 805 2076 fax: +27 11 805 2330 -Original Message- From: Stephen Gran [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 17 October 2005 08:01 PM To: debian-amd64@lists.debian.org Subject: Re: can't mount raid 5 after installation This one time, at band camp, Hamish Moffatt said: On Mon, Oct 17, 2005 at 01:58:52PM +0200, Goswin von Brederlow wrote: kohzak [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: Hamish Moffatt a écrit : Ok, after reconfiguring mdadm i can mount my /home But after reboot, i still have the same problem. Reinstall the kernel-image so the initrd gets rebuild and includes the raid modules and mdadm. But it won't since the root filesystem is not on raid.
