Hi all, OK, I've actually resolved the installation issue now. What I did was I chose to try to PXE boot and install Wheezy (the new upcoming release of Debian which is currently still in development). So, I downloaded the netboot files for Debian Wheezy, modified the additional text files specifying the locations of all files and also the console baud rates, and then tried to boot this. The good news is that in this way, I was able to successfully start the Debian installer and perform the installation without any issues - the connected CF card and SATA drive were recognised without any trouble, and all other installation steps went through just fine. However, now it's not booting up for some reason... When I boot the box, I get all the BIOS stuff, and once it actually starts to boot up I just get this: GRUB loading.
Welcome to GRUB! Yep, that's it - no errors, nothing to select, just the information that GRUB is loading and a welcome message, and after that it just stops... Is there anything I can do to get some more information from GRUB and resolve this issue? Here's how I partitioned the disks: /dev/sda (CF card): /dev/sda1: /boot: EXT4 partition, size of 100MB, bootable flag off (I think this is no longer required, right?) /dev/sda2: Swap aria, size 200MB /dev/sda3: / (root file system), EXT4, all the remaining capacity of the CF card was allocated here. /dev/sdb: (SATA drive) /dev/sdb1: 300GB, EXT4, mounted as /var /dev/sdb2: 200GB, EXT4, mounted as /home. I created the additional /boot partition because the Wiki article explained that this is the best option, as the BIOS might not be able to handle a large partition to boot from - but I'm unsure if this setup really worked or if something went wrong here... Thanks for any help with this!!! :-) Robin _______________________________________________ Soekris-tech mailing list Soekris-tech@lists.soekris.com http://lists.soekris.com/mailman/listinfo/soekris-tech
