Why did you put "Error" everywhere? Most of the installation must have
gone OK looking at your comments below.
Sorry - lack of sleep - I tried 6 different install CDs before I got this far...
All the E's should be O's
Comments/Problems:
<I did a sarge install on jfs on software RAID1. This had not worked on
earlier versions of the installer.
What do you mean exactly? Did jfs on RAID work with the Sarge installer or
did it not? If not, _what_ did not work.
Will run memtest and try to zero the supper blocks and start over.
Sounds like a good option. If that fails too, could you please also try
with ext3? That will help narrow it down to either the RAID setup of the
jfs filesystem.
My latest hunch is the nForce4 Ultra chip set - I'm trying to find a later
kernel complied for Sarge that might have it fixed - no luck finding one I can
wget from the install shell.
I have talked to others that are running AMD64 with RAID or JFS without any
problems. I think the highest probability is the nForce4 drivers. Could be some
glitch in the SATA drivers?
memtest86+ has been running non stop with restricted air flow for 6 hours now.
I'm going to zero the super blocks on those drives and try again - make sure I
created everything cleanly.
