Hi there... I tried sarge and woody cds, then I tried Scott Kveton's special netinst 2.4 image for Dell servers, which says that it should support the Dell PowerEdge 400SC.
Every time, it locks up the machine when I try to format the /var partition that I make (about 23 GB) at the end of the 40 GB stock drive. Finally I got a "useful" message when I tried a bad block check. This is a retype of the last of what I saw... bad drive? --mark-- 32768 blocks per group, 32768 fragments per group 16384 inodes per group Superblock backups stored on blocks: 32768, 98304, 163840, 229376, 294912, 819200, 884736, 1605632, 2654208, 4096000 Checking for bad blocks (read-only test): Oops: 0000 5763310 CPU: 0 EIP: 0010:[<c0118cb3>] Not tainted EFLAGS: 00010087 eax: df687888 ebx: cc68788c ecx: 00000000 edx: 00000000 esi: df68788c edi: df687888 ebp: c03a3eac esp: c03a3e8c ds: 0018 es: 0018 ss: 0018 Process swapper (pid: 0, stackpage=c03a3000) Stack: 00000046 eed87ee8 00000001 00000086 00000003 df687840 00000002 00000001 c15e3880 c0142e22 c04129a0 df687840 efbd0240 00000002 c01dff8f df687840 00000001 c01fd98c 000001f0 c0412a20 efbd0240 c0412990 00000086 000000001 Call Trace: [<c0142e22>] [<c01dff8f>] [<c01fd98c>] [<c020fdd5>] [<c020ef24>] [<c0208206>] [<c020edb0>] [<c010ace9>] [<c010af08>] [<c01070b0>] [<c010da98>] [<c01070b0>] [<c01070dc>] [<c0107172>] [<c0105000>] Code: 8b 01 85 45 f0 75 1c 8b 02 89 d3 89 c2 0f 18 00 39 f3 75 e9 <0>Kernel panic: Aiee, killing interrupt handler!
