Re: Re: Problem installing debian amd-64 on a HP
Hello I’m installing debian on a HP DX5150 and I have diferent problems. I download diferent versions of debian, but I only can detect the hard disk with debian-testing-amd64-netinst.iso, but when I restart the PC I can’t start program. I think this is a problem with the graphics card. And another versions of debian I download doesn’t detect the hard disk. Do you know what can I do? Best regards, Teibo

update your kernel to 2.6.12 actually, can i recommend updating to 'testing' Dean Chris Bannister wrote: On Mon, Oct 10, 2005 at 04:34:34PM +0200, Andreas wrote: Hi, I got the DX5150 up and running today, thanks all for your help!

Hi, I got the DX5150 up and running today, thanks all for your help! This is how I did it: Booted into expert mode with Len Sorensens sarge ISO, modprobed ahci, sata_sil and sd_mod.

Those modules are only relevant for 2.4, and you can just ignore those errors AFAIK.

I can't turn off RAID without enabling IDE emulation and that's not good either. The choises I have in the bios menu are either no sata at all OR IDE (emulation) OR RAID. If I was to use RAID, I would've used software RAID yes, but that's a later problem right now, because I only have one drive. also you could try turning off sata and seeing what happens and just turning stuff off in general... Yes, I did that, with the result being that the installer couldn't find the drive at all. When using IDE or RAID options in the BIOS, the installer finds the drive when I load the proper modules. try the official daily cdimages http://cdimage.debian.org/pub/cdimage-testing/daily/amd64/ or completely http://cdimage.debian.org/pub/cdimage-testing/daily/amd64/current/debian-testing-amd64-netinst.iso I'll try that on monday, thanks.

I'm using Len Sorensen's sarge installer with the 2.6.12 kernel, downloaded from http://tinyplanet.ca/~lsorense/amd64/. I haven't been able to get a dump from lspci, but here is what HP says about the unit: # AMD Athlon. 64 or Sempron # ATI Radeon® XPRESS 200 chipset # ATI Radeon 9600 integrated graphics . standard VGA and DVI-D ports # Supports up to 4-GB of PC 3200 (DDR 400) Synch DRAM Memory # 6 rear USB 2.0 ports and 2 front USB 2.0 ports # Realtek AC97 integrated audio with internal speaker # Integrated PCI-E Broadcom NetXtreme Gigabit Ethernet NIC http://h10010.www1.hp.com/wwpc/us/en/sm/WF06a/12454-64287-89301-321860-f49-457124.html Problem: The installation hangs when it is at 100% of the detecting hardware part. I can at that moment switch back and forth between the consoles for a couple of minutes, then the whole system freezes and I have to hardboot. This is how I did it: When the installation starts I switch to console 2 and modprobes sata-uli, ahci and sata_sil. The log said it found my hard drive so I thought everything was ok. I continue with the installation, and again, the whole installation stops at 100% when detecting the hardware. Before the system froze I looked at the log console and it said it's searching for the installation media, and before that an error message claiming it can't find ide-mod, ide-probe-mod and ide-detect. And then it freezes. In the BIOS configuration I have only 3 options to choose from regarding the sata controller and I've tried all of them: * sata disabled * IDE (Which I presume is IDE emulation) * RAID Any suggestions what to try now?
