Re: Proliant Microserver installation



Further to the previous. Dump from failed install here: http://pastebin.com/5kLP6K6p , most salient info seems to be:

 * Aug 22 13:40:27 main-menu[290]: (process:5317): WARNING: could not
   open /lib/modules/3.10-2-amd64/modules.builtin: No such file or
   directory
 *

   Aug 22 14:38:41 kernel: [    3.320926]  sdb: unknown partition table

 *

   Aug 22 14:38:41 kernel: [    3.279479]  sda: unknown partition table

Any suggestions greatly appreciated.

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,

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

     Model: ATA VB0250EAVER (scsi)
     Disk /dev/sda: 233GiB
     Sector size (logical/physical): 512B/512B
