Re: [Server-devel] Problems installing XS on new system for Uruguay
2008/6/5 Tony Pearson [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Hardware: Nice hw! But the sata controler might not be supported. When you load F8 64-bit or Ubuntu, - what does lspci say about the SATA controller? - what kernel module loads for it? (dmesg will name it) Problem 1: I boot from XS-163.iso and select Run from Image (the first choice) and it claims that ATI Radeon 1200 is not supported, and that it It often complains about graphics cards. Nothing to worry about - Compiz won't be enabled on the XS ;-) Problem 2: I log in as root and run the ./olpc-install and it fails on line 23 saying Specified nonexistent disk sda in clearpart command with a big red button to reboot. (see attached JPG file: img_4751b.jpg for screen shot) Recent images are auto install so you don't need to run olpc-install by hand... Would that work? If I do that, would I be better off doing Fedora7-AMD64 instead or stay with the 32-bit version? Unfortunately, we have a few custom packages that are compiled 32-bit only (nothing too bad, just a recompile away) - but I think your problem is with missing drivers in F7. Can you try installing F7 32bits? Problem 3: the BIOS supports three settings: IDE, RAID and AHCI. With RAID, I can hit Ctrl-F to get to the FastBuild utility, and put the two drives into a single RAID-1 configuration, however, it does not seem that Linux recognizes that. With the two drives as one Logical RAID-1 drive, the Linux treats this as separate /dev/sda and /dev/sdb drives. No idea bout AHCI or fakeraid - sorry Now - one point I'd like to understand better - when you say for uruguay you don't mean the Ceibal team, right? (From OLPC perspective, if you talk about schoolservers in Uruguay, the Ceibal team is what I think of...).

Re: [Server-devel] Problems installing XS on new system for Uruguay
Martin, I'll try the lspci commands to see what it says. What dmesg should I look for? -- when I do: dmesg | grep sd[ab] I get that it finds both /sda and /sdb individually, so not detecting the RAID mode. The autoinstall' fails either because of the Radeon X1200 or the clearpart command on Line 23. I've burned a copy of XS-160-noauto if you want me to try that. I've been scanning the Fedora forums for dmraid support, and it doesn't look like it has support for this SB600 SATA RAID controller. Uruguay = EduBlog/Ceibal/Greg Smith. I am building the server to Greg's request, so whatever he is now calling this project that is what it is.

Uruguay == Ceibal Uruguay != EduBlog Uruguay != Greg Smith Your statement worries me, as Ceibal has a clear idea of what they want, and a team of developers working on it. They also have a good relationship with their volunteer community. Why isn't this being coordinated by Ceibal ?

Its mainly a web server but it should include Moodle and everything else needed for EduBlog. Ok - you have cleared that up with the Ceibal team - they don't have some key pieces of our infrastructure in place (specifically, they are currently not running ejabberd, and it's unclear whether they are registering the laptops to the XO). Some of the identity stuff we are doing on the XS needs registration services running, and there's a small chance that might use ejabberd services... Fedora 7 XS image Moodle PostGreSQL Apache PHP Am I missing anything? That's good. Just keep track of any additional dependency :-) PS I hope we're not flooding the list.
