[ Please CC me on replys ] Hi!
Since my work-computer broke down and I will be without motherboard for 6-8 weeks I am no trying to use the O2 I did not gave to you guys as a temporary replacement. I put in another 2G harddisk and started the installation as described on www.cyrius.com/debian/o2 (thanks Martin). There were a some quirks (more on that below), but the main drawback is that I can't load modules into the kernel after installation: ====================================================================== thor:~# modprobe loop FATAL: Error inserting loop (/lib/modules/2.6.9-r5k-ip32/kernel/drivers/block/loop.ko): Invalid module format ====================================================================== That is a bit unfortunate since I wanted to link the disks together with raid or lvm. Also, there are 416MiB of RAM in this machine. ARCS detects this just fine, but Linux sees only 256MiB. Installation report =================== * Booted via bootp/tftp from a Sun ultra1 running Debian. * Installer bootet fine, selected german lang/keyboard. * It discovered four network devices: onboard, pci card and two ipv6 tunnel devices. I don't know about the tunnel devices, the onboard device and the pci card are correct. I continued with the onboard interface. * No modules (as it currently should be). * Partitioning went fine with fdisk. I was planning to do the following: sda1 50M /boot sda2 200M swap sda3 1.75G raid storage sdb2 250M swap sdb3 1.75G raid storage raid 3.50G / * I had to go back and load mdconf from network which then told me that the neccessary kernel drivers are missing. So I went back and changed my partition layout as follows: sda1 50M /boot sda2 200M swap sda3 1.75G reserved sdb2 250M / sdb3 1.75G reserved The plan was to move to raid later, when I had the modules available. * Fetching packages and installing them went just fine. * The installation of arcboot went totally wrong. It is obviously not desinged for installations with boot on its own partition. After working around that the system rebooted fine. * Base config went just fine.
