Debian on Xserve
Hello together,
i have problems getting debian installed on my brand new XServe. With
the netinst images from Ian Eure no booting was possible (Xserve
switched off after loading the kernel), so i tried the image from
lordsutch.com (http://www.phy.olemiss.edu/debian-cd/) and could boot
using install24-safe. During boot i get a lot of "Lost interupt on hda"
and similar with every ide device (2 hard drives plus cd-rom). If I wait
long enough the installation system starts, but i can only see the
language selection box and not select any language.
I didn't try the official 3.0 images yet, since i don't have them at
hand at this time.
My idea was (knowing that YDL is running on XServe) compiling a brand
new kernel with the latest BenH-Patches on my PowerBook and booting that
one. Now my question is: How can i do it the way, that the
installation system starts after kernel is loaded (via network would be
fine since i don't think it will work the first try :-) ??
If anyone knows a good resource on how to install debian on XServe,
please point me there. I couldn't find any useful documention on
installing debian on XServe.
Thank you in advance
Daniel
