Hello List, I have got an Dual Opteron system from Siemens for testing purposes.
Here are the specs: System: Siemens Celsius V810 2x AMD Opteron 2.0 GHz 1 GB DDR SDRAM PC400 Ecc Graphic: nVIDIA GeForce FX5200 Serial ATA Raid-Controller: Adaptec AAR-2410SA 3 x 80GB SATA harddiscs I have got some problem installing any linx ditributpn on this system. I have tried Gentoo, Ubuntu and Debian AMD64, but I was not able to install the bootloader into the MBR of the harddisc (booting from a bootable floppy works flawlessly) grub-install works without errors: ~# grub-install /dev/sda Installation finished. No error reported. This is the contents of the device map /boot/grub/device.map. Check if this is correct or not. If any of the lines is incorrect, fix it and re-run the script `grub-install'. (hd0) /dev/sda ~# But when I try to boot the system, the bios shows "Operating system not found" I have disabled the write-cache feature of the RAID-controller and the harddiscs itself, unfortunately it didn't help. I decided to take a closer look into the MBR: dd if=/dev/sda of=bootsector bs=512 count=1 When I open this file with a hexeditor, I can see the following message: ...GRUB .Geom.Hard Disk.Read.Error... I do not know if this has something to do with the problem. Any hints for me? Greetz, Andre -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
