RE: Debian on Compaq ProLiant 800 servers
I have installed linux on a Proliant 800 and 1850R. If you are not using a smart array controller, then you should not need the smart start CD. I have ecountered ethernet lockups using the on board tlan ethernet controller. I use a good PCI ethernet such as Intel Eepro100. I have seen 20 1850s with dual 450s run for a year straight. If your install hangs while probing for keyboard and mouse, it is hanging on semi-existant USB hardware. Boot with linux nousb to avoid the usb hangup. -Original Message- From: Ben Collins [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, May 19, 2004 10:07 AM To: Craig Ian Dewick Cc: Debian Sparc Subject: Re: Debian on Compaq ProLiant 800 servers On Wed, May 19, 2004 at 07:24:54PM +1000, Craig Ian Dewick wrote: Hi everyone, APANA Sydney has obtained a Compaq Proliant 800 server with dual P2-450's which we want to use to replace our aging and increasingly-flaky P-100 system.

Hi everyone, APANA Sydney has obtained a Compaq Proliant 800 server with dual P2-450's which we want to use to replace our aging and increasingly-flaky P-100 system. We don't have access to the special CD which contains drivers for Compaq's custom ethernet hardware and are wondering if there are ways to work around that limitation? Are there any online FAQ's catering specifically for Debian on Compaq ProLiant servers available that we can use for reference?
