I have an old T2000 server which I am trying to reuse. I dont have any Oracle contract to upgrade the OBP firmware. Trying to netboot any debian version >= lenny gives me this error
With etch I get the installer screen but it fails downloading the Release file Is this because of the older firmware.. I am kind of stuck with this firmware. Would a DVD install be any better. If I can install over network its much more convenient obviously ... Any pointers would be helpful.. Thanks FATAL: Module usbkbd not found. FATAL: Module usbhid not found. FATAL: Module usbserial not found.
