Hi Adam, well, the problem was not the power-supply-unit. It was caused by a broken adapter card right on the mainboard (030-1202-001 Flat Panel Interface card). I bought a new power-supply-unit & a new mainboard ... well, at least I have spare parts now ;)
Now I'm stuck when partitioning ... :( ... the installer doesn't find any hdd. I have a blank hdd (73gb cheetah), and my fdisk menu looks different from the one on http://www.pvv.org/~pladsen/Indy/HOWTO.html#h What I did: - dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda count=1 bs=512 - fdisk /dev/sda -- Enter expert mode: x -- Make disklabel: g -- Leave expert mode: r So I got this: Disk /dev/sda (SGI disk label): 255 heads, 63 sectors, 8924 cylinders Units = sectors of 1 * 512 bytes ----- partitions ----- Pt# Device Info Start End Sectors Id System 9: /dev/sda1 0 4096 4096 0 SGI volhdr 11: /dev/sda2 0 143364059 143364060 6 SGI volume ----- Bootinfo ----- Bootfile: /unix Ok ... after adding the linux-partitions it looks like this: Disk /dev/sda (SGI disk label): 255 heads, 63 sectors, 8924 cylinders Units = sectors of 1 * 512 bytes ----- partitions ----- Pt# Device Info Start End Sectors Id System 1: /dev/sda1 boot 16065 220865 204801 83 Linux native 2: /dev/sda2 swap 224910 749198 524289 82 Linux swap 9: /dev/sda3 0 4096 4096 0 SGI volhdr 11: /dev/sda4 0 143364059 143364060 6 SGI volume ----- Bootinfo ----- Bootfile: /unix I'm not able to start the swap-partition at (end of boot)+1 ... And I have no idea how the create that "----- Directory Entries -----" ... Any hints? Thanks a lot, and have a nice weekend Torsten Gesendet: Dienstag, 14.

It seems more like a coincidence, that your power supply broke, regardless of the task you were performing. I'm not familiar with the O2 chasis, but maybe somebody knows how to test the power supply to verify my assumption? -Adam On Tue, May 14, 2013 at 5:12 AM, T.

As I have no Irix licenses I decided to install wheezy, and so I read http://www.cyrius.com/debian/o2/[http://www.cyrius.com/debian/o2/] & http://www.pvv.org/~pladsen/Indy/HOWTO.html[http://www.pvv.org/~pladsen/Indy/HOWTO.html] Booting the O2 worked fine, I chose country & language, set an root password, and added a first user. Later on during the install-process the harddisk wasn't found/recognized, so I switched to another console and used "fdisk /dev/sda". The disk was shown, with two SGI-partitions on it ... when I hit "w" to write the changed settings the system stopped, and switched off immediatly. Now it doesn't start anymore ... Did I broke it? Do you have an idea what happened? Thanks a lot! cu Torsten PS: sorry for my english, but I'm not an native english-speaker ... -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected][[email protected]] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
