I have a solid piece of hardware named Compaq. It's a rack mounted
machine with an astonishing P-200 processor and 4 SCSI disks.
I tried with several distributions, but all failed. Finally I managed
to install a debian 3.0 on it. It runs a ftp/http server. Everything is
ok.
But some time ago I
What model Compaq is the server? What about the SCSI/RAID controller?
When you say the install fails, what exactly happens?
I loathe most Compaq hardware, but since my company has made the decision
to standardize on it, I've got experience jumping through a few hoops
often times necessary to
If Roy can't solve it for you, I fooled around with an old digital(p200
pro's) server once with a Knoppix CD. It seemed to detect everything ok
and let me format the scsi drives, etc..
That may be an option for you. Installing from knoppix or any other
distro is not that difficult as long as
Well, I know that Linux will run on a 2500 with that controller (which is
a standard Compaq controller). I've done it plenty of times with Redhat,
which recognizes it and loads the proper modules during the install.
Unfortunately I don't have any 2500s anymore to show the output from
lsmod.

If you look the main thread message you would read that I have a running
debian system currently on this box. I probably can take something from
there?
When can I load those modules during the install process?
Thanks,

Yes, you should be able to, provided the kernel is modularized. Type
lsmod (no quotes) at the command line as root and

Thank you, Brian
It boots now. It was obviously a memory problem instead of detection
problem. Once I entered the memory settings, everything booted smoothly.
I still have much work to do, but is is a good beginning.
BTW: I used the same mem settings on my working debian system. Except
that it
I've decided for a stage3 install, but now I'm having problems.
While starting 'nano' I'm getting an 'Illegal operation' error.
Could this be due precompiled for i686 and executing on a 'Pentium Pro'
Should I start from stage1 or stage2?
Would it help?
