Has anyone any information on installing gentoo on a Dell Poweredge 1655mc? |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
My problem is that these servers don't have ide or scsi floppy or cdrom |
| 16 |
drives. |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
It has just one usb 1.0 plug which I *can* boot the live cd from, but |
| 19 |
*all* the cd's(knoppix too) fail to find the cdrom device when It comes |
| 20 |
time. |
| 21 |
I've tryed PXE booting to start the install but I only have a redhat |
| 22 |
server to work from and for me thats like pulling my own teeth with a |
| 23 |
claw hammer. |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
Someone mentioned having to pass arguments to the kernel at boot , I |
| 26 |
have tryed nohotplug , hdc=ide-scsi , hdc=/dev/scd0 , and several others |
| 27 |
without success. |
| 28 |
|
| 29 |
HELP I really really need to be redhat ridden, I suck at rpm's and |
| 30 |
don't care to waste the rest of my week learning them enough to remove |
| 31 |
RH to install gentoo. |
