Hi, Today I have taken out two IDE harddisks (RAID1 set with Sarge installed on them) from computer A and put them in computer B. Both A and B are older machines, with exactly the same CPUs. A has more RAM (256 MB) than B (96 MB), but that does not seem to make much of a difference. After plugging both disks in the system B boots fine as far as I can tell, I had to fiddle with the network settings and it's working nicely now. To my pleasant surprise, I might add.
My only problem (so far) is that computer B would not reboot upon issueing the reboot command. It never had this problem when it was still running Woody (from a single disk). Now the system will terminate all daemons, shut down networking, unmount disks etc. - then the screen goes black and the system stalls indefinitely. I can't find anything in the logs that I recognize as being related to the problem. Extra bonus problem: I am now 50 km away from this computer and will not be able to go there in three or four days (shop closed). I can control the box by VPN, but I fear doing anything that would require a reboot before I'm convinced it will work... I'm just glad that the thing does not have to do anything critical just yet. So, what would you do? :) (apart from waiting a few days, drive up there and reinstall from scratch) Can I force Sarge to rescan all hardware? What would be clever diagnostics in this case? -- Met vriendelijke groet, Olav. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
