Proliant 2500 BIOS/utilities?
this is what i was hoping for ...
thanks for weighing in with your input, Vince. - LC I have 4 of those running Gentoo and cranking out web pages. They are rock solid. The 1850's have the same memory reporting issue with Linux. Thank goodness the newer Gentoo install disks have eliminated the stage 1 (compile the install tools) option, that took almost a week to get the system compiled, installed, and a custom kernel genned. For anyone looking for info about the Smart controllers under linux check the Gentoo forums. There are tons of examples, how to's and other stuff to save you hours of frustration. VinceV |

I want to install Slackware Linux 12 on a Proliant 2500 with a raidcontroller/3 disks, but when I try to access F10 - System Partition Utilities, it says "no operating system found". I've tried searching for the right SP, but don't know exactly which one I should have. I've also tried to boot straight from Slackware CD, bit neither cfdisk nor fdisk can access a /dev/md.. drive. The gotcha with the SMART Raid controllers... I remembered the memory gotcha but totally forgot about the cpqarray driver gotcha. The naming convention for the devices is a bit fuzzy with that driver as the same disk device is recognized by different names at different stages. You can see how this is outlined he http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t...mart+2500.html For an example look at the device names in Step 2 and Step 5 Step 2: Partioning "/dev/sda" = /dev/ida/c0d0/disc "/dev/sda1" = /dev/ida/c0d0/part1 "/dev/sda2" = /dev/ida/c0d0/part2 "/dev/sdb1" = /dev/ida/c0d1/part1 ....etc. Step 5: fstab /dev/ida/disc0/part1 /boot ext3 noauto,noatime 1 2 /dev/ida/disc0/part3 / ext3 noatime 0 1 /dev/ida/disc0/part2 none swap sw 0 0 There are similar differences configuring the boot loader (grub) too.
