No user data, so just reboot and reinstall.
Hrm, installer CD sees no hard disks.
Some googling suggests that this is a Perc3/Di, but booting woody makes it look like it's an aic7xxx. A woody install CD specific to dells says it might be aacraid.
Looking at the help for special boot parameters, it claims "Certain Dell machines use aic7xxx=no_probe", so try
linux26 aic7xxx=no_probe
as the boot method - that still didn't work. modprobe'ing aacraid after the fact didn't go either. Maybe we can install a 2.4 kernel and upgrade afterwards? Yeah, 2.4 kernel works fine. AGRHH.
/ 6g sda1
3 x 1.75g swap, sda5-7
/fsys1 approx 7g sda8
Base install done, created the basic xhier tree. Let's try booting the same 2.6 kernel I put on quadra, tumbo, and pedernales. That worked, so remove the old kernel and dselect-upgrade. ntpdate is installed and run. Already told debian31 about its new client.
- adduser --home /software/accounts/home --shell /bin/csh --no-create-home --uid 1000 --gid 103 --disabled-login accounts
- edit fstab and mount -a -t nfs
- Usual trouble with xh-first-time (see QuadraSargeUpgrade). Hrm, ethtool shows us half duplex on gooch. Fix with ethtool. Still no joy. It eventually worked.
- xh-install xhier, mfcf-basics, os-extras is all good, xh-local-maintenance is good. Wow, setpw arrived while I was doing this. WTF? xh-rm-package it. Looks like it updated /etc/group for me at least.
- dist cf-specific, cscf-specific, termcap, tcsh
- xh-local-maintenance (clean)
- dist accounts accounts_client setpw
- fix /software/setpw/data/config/setpw.server
- xh-local-maintenance (clean)
- cscf.cs: accounts-client mudge.math
Looks like everything's kosher, so finish for now.
- dist graveyard man nameserver pine_config
- dist resolv-config security service-request watform
- xh-local-maintenance
- dist debian
- local-maint again (clean)
- set xhier local maintainer
- quadra: "dpkg --get-selections > quadrapkgs" in /u/mpatterson
- dpkg --set-selections < quadrapkgs
- /software/debian-1/maintenance/apt-get -uf --fix-missing dselect-upgrade
- set super_ttys and test suw
- X11 forwarding is already on on gooch
I think that covers it.
