Comments/Problems:
<Description of the install, in prose, and any thoughts, comments
and ideas you had during the initial install.>
Please bear with me as I provide some background on the install.
I was running Debian|testing kernel 2.6.11 self compiled.
I had problems with printing hence moved from lp0/gimpprint
to usb0/gutenprint.
Then had further problems, and decided that hotplug might be the problem,
and the newer code needed kernel 2.6.12 hence downloaded
linux-source-2.6.12 and compiled. (It took me a while to spot that
kernel-source was now linux-source)
The machine would not re-boot via lilo and I made a couple of bad decisions
that left me with no easy way back to the old 2.6.11 kernel.
Hardware at this time:
/dev/hda 40GB IDE Maxtor: boot,+ everything except /var (swap was /dev/hda5)
/dev/sda 37GB WD SATA Raid /dev/sda1 /var
/dev/hdd DVD IDE
I tried Mandriva Linux - decided not to continue with rpm's
I installed Libranet Linux - this worked ok but Debian|testing upgrade got
into a loop ext2parm -> libc6 -> libc6-dev -> sysvinit -> ext2parm
I could not break the loop, and I needed Debian|testing apps,
hence I downloaded your CD minimal install image and burned it onto cdrom.
As a further precaution and to ease installation I copied stored data
from /var into /home This allowed /var to be formatted
I did not want to wipe out some of the config files on (/dev/hda1 /etc)
Even though I had these backed up there would be no access until after
the new system was in.
I installed an already partitioned SCSI 18GB hard drive. This became
the new /dev/sda, and the 37GB SATA drives became the new /dev/sdb.
I booted the machine via the CD minimal install image, and installed.
I was impressed. (I think the phrase is "blown away" actually)
Particularly useful items were :
The manual install options for the network
The provision to mount partitions without formatting.
Summary now:
/dev/sda1 5GB / (new formatted)
/dev/sda3 10GB /usr (new formatted)
/dev/sda4 1GB /swap (new formatted)
/dev/hda4 26GB /home
/dev/sdb1 37GB /var (new formatted)
I cannot remember if grub offered an alternative point to /dev/hda
but that is where the boot sector went. (not sure if I also installed
LILO to sda at this point, probably not)
Rebooted. All seemed to go well. I mounted the old /dev/hda1 and copied
config files for Bind and Apt. I ran apt-get upgrade to install
Debian|testing and downloaded about 300MB. On completion some programs
would not run. I seem to remember messages about shadow passwords
not being enabled.
Re-booted. The re-boot seemed to go well. I note some messages
Warning Fake start-stop-daemon called - doing nothing
A search revealed that /dev/hda and /dev/hdd had disappeared,
taking with them the /home directories at /dev/hda4. It appeared that
the hard disk and DVD-ram were identified by the BIOS but possibly the
module was not being loaded into the kernel.
I installed two 300GB SATA Raid1 hard drives as /dev/sdc
I rebooted via the cdrom into your minimal install.
this showed /dev/hda was accessible for partitioning.
I formatted 30GB of /sdc as /dev/sdc1 and arranged to have /dev/hda4
copied over onto this partition. All This Worked.
I installed LILO onto /dev/sda and arranged for the bios to boot SCSI.
Rebooted - OK.
ran apt-get install --reinstall dpkg
this solved the problem of the fake start-stop-daemon
ran shadowconfig -on
This gave shadow passwords
Problem with email
ran apt-get install --reinstall exim4
read messages I had missed before and put colons into the list of
hostnames. This allowed receipt of mail for this domain.
I still cannot access my DVD-ram at /dev/hdd (I have taken the power off
the hard disk /dev/hda but this is likely to be inaccessible until I
compile a new kernel)
Thank you for reading all this
