Re: Debian 3.0 on Netra X1, installs but won't run
Not that this is much help, but I've had all kinds of problems getting
debian installed onto netra t1's. I just do all my installations on a
UE2 and move the disks over to my 220Rs, 420Rs and netra t1s. It always
works perfectly.
In fact I have a E6500 I might ship out a woody disk to the datacenter
it's in and ask them to boot it while I sit on the console port
remotely. I would be pretty cool to see 20-some processors on a debian
linux box ;)
