Problems with the install kernel on serverworks chipset.
When I install Debian 5.0 lenny and reboot, the linux never makes in past the first post but crashes/reboots at once. I can run Knoppix 5.3.1 (kernel 2.6.26) on DVD and older knoppix versions on the machine, so it's not a total havoc. I also used to run an older linux on this machine with kerne image 2.4.22 or 24, on it. I've tried the 2.6-486 as well, but no luck. The installation goes fine, so that one works. But there is something in the linux image that doesn't work for me, maybe it's not supporting Serverworks III LE chipset, or something. Are there any alternative install discs/isos, unsupported that has a kernel that might work for me? It's worth a try. I'm not new to linux either, have been using linux since ca 1998 and installed it over 100 times on different machines, 15 of those I have in my house/basement. So no lack of knowledge there. The machine is a HP NetServer E800 with ASUS CUR-DLS mobo, dual P-III. Any tips? I am also now going to try and install an older version of Debian, (etch) to see if I can use it to upgrade with, and use another kernel. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

What SCSI RAID card is in the machine, if any? It's equpiped with 2-chan LSI SYM53C896 U160 and an Adaptec 1200A ATA-100/ATA-133 controller to replace the crappy Broadcom IDE controller this board has. Anyway, I managed to install a basic configuration of Etch, late last night, booting in with LILO (Wanted Grub 2, but my XFS disks wont work with it). So I'm going to try and upgrade it further from there. Mat

If your skills are up to it, I'd recommend building a custom non-initrd kernel with your storage controller and network drivers (and all needed drivers for that matter) built in. That would eliminate this boot problem. -- Stan -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact listmas...@lists.debian.org

That would eliminate this boot problem. Yeah, that's no problem, just have to figure out all the hardware, so I wont miss to include any modules. Been compiling loads of kernels over the years, but it's been a while now, hope it hasn't changed that much. :) Mat -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
