I'm wondering about the size of the initial installation partition. I generally make /boot about 200Meg.

I'll try setting up the disks as you suggest, then run the install. I did manage to get the raid10 module loaded during the install, but the option for RAID-10 would not show up in the installer. I'll try creating the RAID-10 array after loading the module also. I'm getting the feeling here already that this is probably something I ought not to mess with. This is going to be a production machine, so I may end up with a RAID-1 for /boot and /, then run RAID-10 for shared data. I suppose that would be a reasonable solution. I've got some time to mess with it for a while and I'll post back the results. thanks, scott -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

install Etch with raid level 10
I tried to install Etch on AMD64 using raid level 10. After I partitioned the drives, I went to create the md devices and could only choose from raid levels 0,1 or 5. Should I be able to install with level 10?

I'm currently using Debian on my 2GHz AMD64 32++ and 1Gb RAM, and run vmware server (www.vmware.com) for full virtualization. It allows me to create a virtual machine, on which I installed DOS and Win2000 so I can teach 8086 assembly language without having to reboot. The vmware site has the vmware player and vmware server for free download (the player just plays preconfigured virtual machines, whereas with the server you can create your own). It's very simple to install and use, and it's pretty amazing to see Windows boot up in linux. Heck, you can even play around with the virtual BIOS settings!

Lately, with SATA drives, it seems that it is more common for the drive's ID to be determined by which connector on the motherboard (or add-on controller) it is plugged into. When we lose sda on our HP servers, sdb remains sdb. In any event, we've found grub boot floppies or boot USB sticks to be invaluable. You boot from that and get a full grub console, where you can direct the loader to boot from any available drive in the machine and pass whatever root disk parameters are appropriate. Always test you configuration before you put it into production. Spending 20 minutes pulling sda from the machine and booting it up to see what happens will tell you everything that you need to know. -Scott -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

We are doing software RAID1 across two SATA drives. The controllers that we have (low-end HP hardware) control which drive appears where in the chain. The drive plugged into connector 0 is sda and the drive plugged into connector 1 is sdb. When we lose sda, sdb stays sdb. Additionally, mdadm can tell which drive is which. I'm not sure if its writing some identifying information onto the drive or what, but each disk seems to know its place in the configuration. One thing that you are going to want to make sure that you do is to use the grub console to place an MBR onto each of the drives in the array, not just the first one. Otherwise, if you remove drive sda, the machine will look for an MBR from sdb, not find one, and not boot. Our servers do not have hot-swappable drives, so we have something of a problem when we lose sda. We have to shut down the box to replace the drive, but then the replacement sda drive is blank, and the controller can't boot from it. Some of the machines have BIOSes that will let you pick which drive to boot from, others require a grub boot floppy or USB stick from which you can direct the machine to boot from sdb. Check your BIOS before disaster strikes. Nothing replaces some good testing. Before you place the box into production, play with it. Shut it down, pull sda, and boot it up. See what happens. Then you'll know exactly what steps are required in the event of a failure, and when it happens with real data on the box, you'll know what to do. You might even document the required recovery steps, print them out, and attach them to the machine. The next person who has to maintain the box will thank you. -Scott -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Grub is passing your root string to the kernel when it loads and boots the kernel. Since nothing else is running (especially udev), the only namespace that the kernel has for devices is its own. Until the udev daemons get started, there is no /dev/sata1. Something of a chicken and egg problem. Since the answer to all booting chicken and egg problems is the initrd, it should be possible to do what you want using that. You would have to have enough of a system to get udev running on your initrd, then you could transfer the your root device to /dev/sata1. I've seen that basic process used to keep the root filesystem encrypted on the hard drive before. If you search for "encrypted root filesystem" you should get some information, and you might be able to adapt that hack to what you are trying to accomplish.

This is so that if you have problems with the new kernel, you still have a working kernel on your box that you can go back to. If you are using any modules that are not part of the kernel (nvidia, ati, etc.) you will have to rebuild those with your new kernel also. Once you have completed the transition to your new kernel, you have to manually remove the previous one if you don't want it on your box any more. -Scott -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Consequently, I did the etch install, then did aptitude -t stable install kde (should be the same principle for gnome), and ended up with a working (but older!) kde on an installation that is fundamentally etch. Beware, however, that this would mean you may have some issues with things like KOffice (older version), OpenOffice.org (only version I can get to work is experimental, and then only Writer, but supposedly there is a chroot 32bit version that works - I just found dead links), and AbiWord (crashes for me - and others have put this on the bug report - 100% of the time when you click the "Print" button).

OK, I checked that and can see what looks like evidence of the problem: 0 [IXP]: ATIIXP - ATI IXP ATI IXP rev 2 with unknown codec at 0xc0003400, irq 10 1 [Modem ]: ATIIXP-MODEM - ATI IXP Modem ATI IXP Modem rev 2 at 0xc0003800, irq 10 It seems the sound card is not being recognized properly.

I do not have a preferences file - and did not set preferences in the config file. I tried that before, but was having dependency issues. Now I keep both stable and testing in sources.list and use the -t flag to determine what I want to install. Mostly, I use -t stable for kde and related things, and go with etch for system utilities, etc. Scott -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

ndiswrapper and sound - etch
Hello all, Recently bought a Compaq laptop (V2630US) with AMD Turion 64. I've been using 32-bit Linux for quite some time (1996), but, like most, I suppose, this 64-bit is a new adventure. I installed Testing from the CD (netinstall - boot params "noapic nolapic") via the ethernet connection, and all HW was properly detected and set up except (as expected) the Broadcom 4318 wifi card. Sound worked perfectly (lspci reports audio is: :00:14.5 Multimedia audio controller: ATI Technologies Inc IXP SB400 AC'97 Audio Controller (rev 02)). I installed and compiled ndiswrapper 1.16, and the WinXP64 driver and the Broadcom worked perfectly. Unfortunately, the sound stopped working immediately. The error was no device found (looking for /dev/audio and/or /dev/dsp. I created /dev/audio and now it no longer complains about the device, but still doesn't have sound. Any help greatly appreciated... Scott -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Greetings:
I do that with my machine (using grub rather than lilo, though) without
any major problems. The only problem that I've run into has to do with
having both the 32-bit and 64-bit version of a program installed.
Sometimes the two versions have different ideas about configuration
files and data file formats that it stores in /home. If the program has
a conversion process for converting data files from 32-bit to 64-bit,
then you will have problems if you try to run both versions on your machine.

The nice thing about grub is that it has a console at boot where you can modify the booting kernel and the parameters, which is nice if you got you /boot/grub/menu.lst wrong in some way. But without a console, you only get what's in your menu.lst - so if that's wrong it won't boot. What you're saying sounds do-able, but you'll have to get everything completely right the first time. You're assuming that your chrooted build on /dev/sdb will boot. In the situation you're talking about, you don't really need an MBR on /dev/sdb. The only reason you would need an MBR on /dev/sdb would be if /dev/sda had a failure. For what you are describing, you need a properly set up MBR on /dev/sda which defaults to booting your root partition on /dev/sdb?. On a side note, if this is an important machine to you, you might to check out some sort of lights-out remote access which would get you remote access to the machine's console. It's a real life-saver when you can't get to the machine easily. Good luck. -Scott -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: Re-install grub.
I recently ran the amd64 net install on my Win2000 system (I'd already set aside disk space for the linux installation). I was also a bit nervous about having Debian overwrite the MBR (although it's never given me any problems in the past), so when I was asked to install grub I declined, I left the MBR untouched. Then I created a grub floppy (http://www.gnu.org/software/grub/manual/html_node/Creating-a-GRUB-boot-floppy.html#Creating-a-GRUB-boot-floppy) and tested my booting situation with that. Once I felt comfortable that everything looked okay, I went ahead and installed grub to the MBR "natively" (http://www.gnu.org/software/grub/manual/html_node/Installing-GRUB-natively.html#Installing-GRUB-natively). After that everything worked just fine. Grub's pretty darn flexible, it's a good idea to familiarize yourself with how to use it to boot your system. Here's a link to a guy who's using it to boot over 100 operating systems on his machine: http://www.justlinux.com/forum/showthread.php?threadid=143973 What he's done there can provide you with some good examples. (The grub documentation is also helpful.) Btw, I also saved the boot records on my drive using "dd" and put them in a safe place, both before and after the linux install so I can easily restore them, just for peace of mind! -- Scott Edwards --- Michael Dominok <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Hi Thierry, > > no hint to your problem but ... > > On Tue, 2006-01-24 at 21:19 +0100, Thierry LARMIER > wrote: > > Hello all, > > > > I want to format my FAT32 disk and re-install > windows ( Windows need to > > be re-installed often. :-))).
