The disks were not secured to their scsi plug so I just needed to push and lock them... Stoopid me :). Etch installed fine, with just a bizarre thing during partitionning: even if the disk is displayed at 36GB the partitionner used only 6GB and displayed an error about too many partitions. But this did not prevent the install and etch came up fine. gcc54:~# df -h Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on /dev/sda2 6.0G 640M 5.0G 12% / tmpfs 759M 0 759M 0% /lib/init/rw udev 10M 56K 10M 1% /dev tmpfs 759M 0 759M 0% /dev/shm /dev/sda1 93M 13M 76M 15% /boot gcc54:~# fdisk /dev/sda Command (m for help): p Disk /dev/sda (Sun disk label): 27 heads, 107 sectors, 4425 cylinders Units = cylinders of 2889 * 512 bytes Device Flag Start End Blocks Id System /dev/sda1 0 68 98226 1 Boot /dev/sda2 68 4427 6296575+ 83 Linux native /dev/sda3 0 4427 6394801+ 5 Whole disk Command (m for help): q I did not dare play with fdisk, any idea on what to try to recover 36GB? The disk reference: Seagate Cheetah 73LP 36GB 10K U160 80pin SCA-2 SCSI Hard Drive ST336605LC. I then dist-upgraded to lenny but at reboot it looks like when detecting the network the machine froze, just like the lenny installer did. Garbled in the serial console I believe I saw a kernel panic backtrace scrolling. My guess is that the lenny kernel driver for the ethernet card has some issue the etch kernel driver didn't have. So back to reinstalling etch for me. Thanks in advance, Laurent > ~ # lspci -nn > 00:00.0 Host bridge [0600]: Sun Microsystems Computer Corp.
