Re: Question regarding wheezy-installation on SGI O2

Hi,

I recently did a successful install of debian-mips onto an O2, and the machine did not turn off.

It seems more like a coincidence, that your power supply broke, regardless of the task you were performing. I'm not familiar with the O2 chasis, but maybe somebody knows how to test the power supply to verify my assumption?

Good morning everybody,

some weeks ago I bought an used SGI O2.
As I have no Irix licenses I decided to install wheezy,
and so I read http://www.cyrius.com/debian/o2/ & http://www.pvv.org/~pladsen/Indy/HOWTO.html

Booting the O2 worked fine, I chose country & language, set an root password, and added a first user.
Later on during the install-process the harddisk wasn't found/recognized, so I switched to another console
and used "fdisk /dev/sda". The disk was shown, with two SGI-partitions on it ... when I hit "w" to write the changed settings the system stopped, and switched off immediatly.
Now it doesn't start anymore ...
Did I broke it? Do you have an idea what happened?

Thanks a lot!

sorry for my english, but I'm not an native english-speaker ...
