[Server-devel] OLPC XS Installation detail guide
Hi, I am a new learner in the OLPC deployment in Papua New Guinea. I have installed an OLPC XS and everything looks good. However, the only problem faced here is to do with eth0. During booting up, it come to a stage where it says; IP determining information eth0 fails. I have tried /etc/sysconfig/olpc-scripts/domain_config , nothing works. Can someone assist me how to resovle this issue. Thank you, Dudley Daduwe ___ Server-devel mailing list Server-devel@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/server-devel
[Server-devel] pgsql-xs fail during boot process
Hi All, I have a XS server which works fine. I have decided to install additional content onto the library. After completing copying, I then created the Alias using nano /etc/httpd/conf.d/html.conf. How can I resolve this problem. Thank you, Dudley Daduwe ___ Server-devel mailing list Server-devel@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/server-devel
Re: [Server-devel] OLPC XS- Not booting
Hi all, The problem faced here is that, when you power the XS server you can see that the server has been powered and the power light is ON, however, there is NO DISPLAY ON THE SCREEN.

Can the BIOS see the hard drives? If you don't know if the machine itself is working outside the hard drives, have you tried booting from a Linux rescue CD? Some folks like Knoppix for that. I tend to use Ubuntu NBR (cause I usually have that CD on top of the stack). But there are a myriad of Linux live CDs out there. If you can get into a live Linux boot, ls /dev and see if you see your hard drives. If you don't see them, or can't boot into Linux from a CD, then it's time to break the box down and reconnect the drives. Or check the power supply. I've run into so many hardware issues with the old stuff I work with, I can't even keep track of how many problems I've had. Hard drives give me special trouble. If I can actually see the stubborn drives in /dev, I'll use gparted or fdisk to format to a single fat32 partition. Then the XS install usually picks it up.

Re: [Server-devel] OLPC XS- Not booting
There were no beeps. If there were beeps then it would have given me some clue on Memory or VGA but there was none. I tried recconnecting the IDE HDD a number of times but that didn't help. Besides that the server is running on an e-Box3 -D82.Version 1.3 RoHS. Finally there are no lights indecating HDD activity, its only the power light.(Mini PC) Thank you, Dudley On Fri, Nov 12, 2010 at 8:53 AM, rihoward1 rihowa...@gmail.com wrote: Dudley, Do you hear any beeps when you power on the system?
