Help: I am trying to install a Compaq Proliant 370 (2 Pentiums 667 MHz, 512 Mbytes RAM, 2*9.1 Gig SCSIs). (1) I have deleted the whole configuration, and tried to set RAID0 (and then RAID1) by using the Compaq CDROM. (2) I have used the compact rescue and root disks from potato 2.2r3; but it failed to init the smart drive.
I have tried to follow these following tips without luck. Is there anything else that I can try? thanks. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- http://www.joelschneider.com/compaq_proliant_1500_debian_potato.html "Compaq Proliant 1500 and Debian 2.2r3" http://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2001/debian-user-200107/msg02925.html Klaus Brand: "You must ensure that the driver "cpqarray" is loaded and that the devices nodes under /dev/ida/ present." http://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2001/debian-user-200107/msg02930.html Frans Schreuder: "Mine looks like#boot: linux(image'compact'rescuediskette) smart2=0x6000 sim710=addr:0x8000,irq:15 You should know where your array is in terms of basememory adress. On the proliant I have, it's the EISAslot number. i.e.: 6; basememory adress=0x6000 What kind of arraycontroller you need to fill in, I don't know. But this must get you started. When you install LILO; DON'T install it in MBR! (another compraq got me on that one). Make the compraq partition bootable (/dev/ida/c0d0p3) and install LILO on you rootpartition (/dev/ida/c0d0p1). Then add to LILO the alternative of F10 and it's location. And add what you did to show the kernel where to look for the array, to append='here is the array and onboard you bastard" http://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2001/debian-user-200107/msg03385.html Bernie Boudet: "boot: smart2=0x1000 sim710=addr:0x9000,irq:9 " http://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2001/debian-user-200107/msg03419.html Frans Schreuder (/etc/lilo.conf): lba32 ..... append="smart2=0x6000 sim710=addr:0x8000,irq:15 mem=128M" -- Rahmat M.
