Installing Squeeze testing
I'm having some problems installing Squeeze. Every time I run through the installer it freezes at 33% on partitioning the disk. I have tried it with Etch stable, which works fine (but apt doesn't work once I install as it's 2.4 kernel). I've also tried a Lenny testing disk I have laying around, but that also freezes at 33%. It may have something to do with the 2.6 kernel. The server I'm trying to install on is a Dell PowerEdge 750. As far as I can tell it has a MegaRaid SCSI controller (2x146GB drives in RAID 1). Does anyone know how I can fix this problem? Thanks Nick Le Mouton

If there is a partitioning issue, you're more likely to see it there. -Lee -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

I would discount very much the significance of trouble with a disk from that era. Also, traditionally, install disk are one of the last things to be gotten working proir to release, and Squeeze is not about to be released, I think. Perhaps you should install Lenny from a newly downloaded netinst, and then dist-upgrade, or whatever, to Squeeze. -- Paul E Condon pecon...@mesanetworks.net -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

How long have you let the partitioner run? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact listmas...@lists.debian.org
