Package: installation-reports
Boot method: CD Sarge 3.1r1 Date: Last two weeks
Machine: Custom built Processor: 2 x PII 450
Memory: 384meg Partitions: /dev/sda1 as root, /dev/sdb-g as RAID 5 at /var Output of lspci and lspci -n: Base System Installation Checklist: [O] = OK, [E] = Error (please elaborate below), [ ] = didn't try it Initial boot worked: [O ] Configure network HW: [ O] Config network: [O ] Detect CD: [ O] Load installer modules: [ O] Detect hard drives: [ O] Partition hard drives: [ O] Create file systems: [O ] Mount partitions: [O ] Install base system: [O ] Install boot loader: [O ] Reboot: [O ] Comments/Problems: Expert26 and Expert24 installation (to install SMP kernel
version). Test bed is a Dual Pentium-II 450 on ASUS P2B-DS motherboard
with 384 megs of RAM, and *7* SCSI drives (one boot, six for software RAID 5)
and CD-ROM on /dev/hdb. First stage of install (llinux26/linux24) goes
fine, but lacks SMP support. Tried expert26/expert24 to gain SMP
support.
Rebooted to start Stage 2 of installation (packages and
the like), and neither expert26 or expert24 installation works.
Kernel 2.6.8-2-686-smp *disabled* support for de4x5 (Tulip
- Netgear FA311 network card) and froze at stage of autoconfiguring
DHCP.
Kernel 2.4.27-2-386-smp (sic) disabled support for
/dev/hdb CD-ROM and could not proceed past apt configuration without cancelling
out of apt configuration. Tried to mount at second console at apt
configuration point and /dev/hdb was "not a spcial block device".
Install via linux26 boot proceeds fine, but SMP support
for second processor not available.
Kernel source as attempted to install after linux26
installation lacks SMP choice in menuconfig.
Kernel source downloaded from kernel.org insists on trying
to use /boot/confg-2.6.8 file for configuration, prints a bunch of warnings, and
then starts up. I would expect this is not
normal.
