Linux on Proliant 2000
Explained he http://groups.google.com/group/alt.s...880a142e32d715 Good luck! VinceV No worries on the memory thing. I got Linux 9 and 7 up to the hardware install stage but then it couldn't find the array. N |

Gentoo from Stage 1 is OK if you want to take the easy road, but Real Men Install Linux From scratch... grin See http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/ I used to program a HP9810. It had 500 steps maximum and you could store the 'program' on a card with a metal stripe. If you stuffed up you had to start all over again. Hmmm that was in 1973. I really don't think I want to go back to 'the good old days'. If you have the time,that's great, but I've got better things to do than redesign a wheel ;-) N |

Which Array?
You may be falling prey to the array renaming gotcha.... The cpq array drivers for older devices name the devices differently at various parts of the install. Read this for a how-to to get the older array controller recognized: http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t...paq+smart.html |

I'm having trouble with the live CD though, it won't get past the boot procedure without some mem= item. Do you know the syntax needed to force it to use the 512Mb installed. N |

Real Men Install Linux From scratch
Is disk space REALLY precious anymore? How do I know that installing applications and utilities that I don't use TODAY, won't be used TOMORROW? I can not, honestly, remember having to delete anything just to get disk space for something else...at least not since the Windows for Workgroups days Can we really admire the person who prides himself on running a firewall that exists on a single floppy...or wonder why the hell he can't buy a 10G drive for $0.99?!?! Like I am going to try to save a single dollar on something so vitally important! I know I sing the praises of Fedora Core, maybe too much, but I almost always install everything on all four disks...and, by God, I ALWAYS have more than enough disk left over. For me to build a unique Linux system tailored to every individual system that I encounter would just be a straight-up waste of time and effort. Like Bignoel implied...the wheel turns, the engineering is done. |

I can not, honestly, remember having to delete anything just to get disk space for something else...at least not since the Windows for Workgroups days You might want to consider *asking* why someone might wish to go with LFS rather than *assuming* that the answer is disk space and then attacking the straw man you set up. http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/ says: Why would I want an LFS system? Many wonder why they should go through the hassle of building a Linux system from scratch when they could just download an existing Linux distribution. However, there are several benefits of building LFS. Consider the following: LFS teaches people how a Linux system works internally Building LFS teaches you about all that makes Linux tick, how things work together and depend on each other. And most importantly, how to customize it to your own tastes and needs. Can we really admire the person who prides himself on running a firewall that exists on a single floppy...or wonder why the hell he can't buy a 10G drive for $0.99?!?! Like I am going to try to save a single dollar on something so vitally important! If an attacker manages to gain root on your hard-disk-based firewall, he can install all manner of malicious software on it. If an attacker manages to gain root on my floppy-based firewall, he cannot change a single bit on the write-protected floppy, and all his nasty work goes away at the next power cycle or reset. If your hard-disk-based firewall has a power outage, important files cn become corrupted. I just hit the power switch on my floppy-based firewall when I am done for the day, knowing that doing so won't change a single bit on the write-protected floppy, he cannot change a single bit on the write-protected floppy. I don't use FFS for firewalling, BTW. I use Freesco. |

What's the last thing posted to the screen?
It could be stalled looking for the appropriate raid drivers. Its possible that you may need to pass other parameters to get the system started, does your 2000 have dual processors? (Remember, linux only supports single processors with the 2000) The Gentoo Handbook has descriptions for each of the kernels that can be loaded and the command line parms. |

Guy has hit it (why start with stage 1 or do LFS) pretty much on the
head.... With the Gentoo Stage 1 install you learn a ton about the inner workings of the file system, how to add and configure disk space, how to set up users, chroot jails, boot loaders, etc. If you are going to run a unix system (or any system for that matter) you need to know how it works. I use m0n0wall as my firewall. It can be loaded from a CF card, CD, floppy, hard disk, etc. Its freeBSD based and has one of the best web GUI's available. Native support for multiple IP addresses on the WAN interface. Support for wireless cards and wireless captive portals. Its designed to run on small footprint hardware. http://www.m0n0.ch/wall A more sophisticated variant under development is pfsense. http://www.pfsense.org |
