Bump: Anyone get NetBSD to work on ANTSLE?

[Palmer, John]

Just checking again to see if someone has had success in getting NetBSD to run 
as a virtual system under Antsle's platform.

My issue is that the filesystems get corrupted almost immediately. Its so bad 
that I most times, the install won't even complete.

Not sure if its due to compression or not.

Antsle's support has so far been useless.

No - I didn't do anything like that (open it up). I have one Linux instance 
running on it and its fine. I've installed NetBSD versions 3.0, 4.0.1, 5.0, 7.0 
and 8.0 and they all have the same issue with the file systems.

I'm not using Xen - just the standard install.

I've got one of those boxes and I did have NetBSD loaded on it not long after I 
got it.  I bought one with the minimal internal disk setup, two 120G Kingston 
SSDs, and installed my own additional disk drives for more storage.

I was using an earlier version of NetBSD and bought it to set up some xen 
images, but then found out the SOC Antsle uses doesn't support everything 
needed to run all the modes xen is capable of.  Had the same problem with 
trying to install FreeBSD on it and ended up just putting MintLinux on it 
instead.  I think it works better with MintLinux than the OS they shipped with 
it, but it still isn't what I thought when I bought it.

It sounds to me like you've got a HW problem though.  You didn't by chance open 
the box to do any upgrades did you?  When you pull it apart you have to be very 
careful of some of the springs, screws and make sure you replace the thermal 
paste for the CPU.

Problems loading NetBSD on an ANTSLE box

[Palmer, John]

I'm trying out one of those Antsle virtual server boxes with NetBSD and am 
getting issues with file system becoming corrupt almost immediately.

When I attach the standard .ISO as the boot device and run the standard sysinst 
scripts, it cannot even unpack and install the system before freezing up.

A reboot and fsck show thousands of file system errors.  I've been attempting 
to get assistance from the Antsle tech support for months but they have not
provided a solution.

Has anyone had any luck loading NetBSD on an Antsle box?
