Install troubles - Tyan K8WE
Having no luck installing sarge on our new machine.
Tyan K8WE w/2x Opteron 244s
LSI21320RB SCSI Controller
Plextor PX-716SA (SATA)
debian-31r0a-amd64-netinst.iso
The three items I'm having trouble with:
1. Installing from the Plextor drive. I'm reading that the newest
kernel will work, so my work around plan is to use an IDE drive and then
upgrade the kernel. I think this will work if I can get past the next two.
2. The integrated network processors don't seem to be supported. From
the MB manual: Two IEEE Nvidia MAC 1000/100/10 Ethernet (First from PRO
2200, Second from PRO 2050). My proposed work around plan is to install
an older network card for the installation and then upgrade drivers.
3. I can't partition my drives. I keep getting an error that says
something like "no partionable drives installed." I'm stuck on this
one. I've tried different boot parameters, but haven't had any success.
I have booted the system with Knoppix and I can configure the network
and I can see the hard drives. Since the work day is about over, I
thought I would try posting here for suggestions before trying again
tomorrow.
