Re: Proliant Microserver installation

["Adam J. Gamble" <adam@sleep.cx>]

Appologies not 'built-in' so to speak, just no additional drives. Actually as luck would have it, my 2TB Western Digital just arrived :)

Assume its an issue with Debian install finding disks to partition then? BIOS can see both, so no problem there. What can I do to debug? Does the debian testing version I've chosen seem a reasonable choice (compatability-wise)?

Thanks,

Adam

Just require some clarification with my Debian install on HP Proliant

Installation going fine until I hit 'Partition disks', I had assumed it 
would find the 250gb HD built-in ..currently don't have any HDs in the 
slots.

The built-in 250GB disk uses the first slot. (Did you mean that you've
not got any *extra* HDs in the slots?)

The issues I had when preparing to install Squeeze (this was several
months ago, before Wheezy had been released) were adding an extra NIC
and additional memory (it's a fairly compact box!) and learning how to
partition my 3TB disks (GPT and parted rather than fdisk).

    parted /dev/sda --align optimal unit GiB print

    Disk /dev/sda: 233GiB
