Hi, Thanks for all the replies.
So, two weeks after ordering it, the PC arrives. I assembled the hardware a few days ago and have been trying to get Debian running ever since.... Firstly, I stand corrected. The Intel ICH7R chipset does not provide hardware raid 0, so I have been experimenting with the Debian software raid instead. I now have three SATA drives installed, a spare 250 GB drive I had laying around, plus the two 500 GB drives. I installed Debian from DVD and partitioned the disks as follows: First drive (250 GB) 50 GB / 50 GB /boot 50 GB /tmp 50 GB /var 50 GB /usr On the two 500 GB drives, I created two 1 GB swap partitions at the beginning of each disk, and configured the rest as raid 0, and used this for /home (this is where the rips will live). Now, when the system boots it sits there for a while "Begin: Waiting for root file system...", and then displays an error message: Check root= bootarg cat /proc/cmdline or missing modules, devices: cat /proc modules ls /dev ALERT! does not exist. Dropping to a shell! BusyBox v1.1.3 (debian 1:1.1.3-4) Built-in shell (ash) Enter 'help' for a list of built-in commands. /bin/sh: can't access tty; job control turned off Any ideas please ? -- DLloyd ------------------------------------------------------------------------ DLloyd's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=9063 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=38519 _______________________________________________ unix mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/unix
