Re: SS4000E install problem

Hi Martin,

Thanks very much for pointing me to that. It took me a few minutes to realize that I needed to use the ramdisk.gz and zImage from the archive. So, it's installed and it boots. Is there any sort of group/mailing list for those of us who have this running? I'd like to find out how to enable the LEDs for the disks and those 3 LEDs on the bottom front panel. And then there's thermal control of the fan to look into. It's going to get some 5TB disks and serve my MythTV videos. My three existing 3TB drives are just about full. No RAIDs (sacriliige I know!), just big disks holding videos that occasionally get swapped out.

Also, is there a tutorial I could use to create my own archive of the mirror, just in case it disappears? I believe I have more than enough available storage.

Thanks again!

This came up on another mailing list recently:
https://lists.debian.org/debian-boot/2015/10/msg00185.html

squeeze moved to archive.debian.org.

You can try installing from there. When the installer shows you a
list of countries when choosing the mirror, choose "enter information
manually". See this screenshot:

Enter archive.debian.org as the hostname and /debian as the directory.
