Intel E7230 + ICH7
Hello,
I am trying to setup Debian AMD64 on a Supermicro SuperServer 5015M-
MF. I am having a bit of trouble as I cannot get the 3.1r0a net
install cd to recognize the disks. I had found a thread in the
mailing lists about this particular server's chipset, the E7230 +
ICH7 but they didn't completely answer my questions:
http://lists.debian.org/debian-amd64/2005/11/msg00595.html
I had also tried Len Sorensen's installer image and it couldn't
detect the USB CDROM I was using to perform the install. When I
connected an IDE CDROM, it asked for language and keyboard setup and
then seemed to lock (I left it running for five minutes on a blue
screen but nothing seemed to be happening).
I would like to use this server in a production environment. Is
there a way to use a more recent kernel with modules for this
hardware with sarge? Or must I use etch or even sid? Can I start
with etch or sid, install only a very basic system and then change my
apt sources to stable and be ok?
Thanks,
Nicholas P. Mueller
