Installation Issues
Hi there. I am a newbie to UNIX-like systems, and my next question will be quite foolish I guess. But still, don't know where to dig, so... Please, shed some light on it for me guys.
I have a laptop Dell XPS 1330 and I am trying to install a Debian stable on it via Netinstall. There is a WinXP installation which I don't need, so I am installing it over WinXP and putting GRUB into MBR. The installation process goes well as far as can see, but after rebooting I just can't boot into new OS. My laptop says something like "There was an error loading OS" even without showing me GRUB or anything else. After the last try, it stopped to print even this message, and all what I am getting is a blinking cursor.
Any ideas?
I'm trying to build OpenJDK 7 from source as I can't get it from the package manager and I'm being stopped by an error after I do "make all":
Error: JAVA_HOME is not defined correctly.
We cannot execute /NO_BOOTDIR/bin/java
I downloaded this from http://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk7u/jdk7u2. (I can't use the package manager to install this version.)
Thanks
Trying to install Debian 6.0.4 amd64 on:
HP Proliant Server DL380 G4 Server
Xeon 3.0GHZ/800/2M
8GB PC2-3200
2 x 36.3GB RAID 0 with HP Smart Array 6i Direct Attached Storage
I recently acquired this HP Proliant DL380 Server and I cannot get the install moving to install. This is believed to a problem with the RAID controller. As it appears Windows Server 2008 doesn't have a problem with getting the drives and editing partitions.
I download the net-install then installed. It installed only a text environment, I could login but there was no desktop or graphical interface. I realized "net install" that meant I had to be connected to the internet, so I connected and re-installed. It took 2 hours and finally booted into a gnome desktop, but it's old gnome 2 even though I download the recent image today, I thought it would be gnome3..
It couldn't see my Broadcom wi-fi so I added the repositories for Ubuntu Lucid Lynx, then it found the drivers for my Wi-Fi and I installed them.
Then it said there were updates and I said okay, update... when I reboot, the desktop icons were jumping up and down in chaos and there was no gnome panel, I couldn't get anything to work.
Hi everybody.
I have installed Windows 7 and i have left one partition free for future install of Debian, but there is problem that Stable version Squeeze does not recognize any partitions in the instalator. I have found on the internet that Windows 7 uses GPT partition table instead of Classical, i dont understand that, please help me how to install Debian next to WIndows 7 to be able to choose which to start?
Thank you a lot for answers, and have nice time!
Don't know if this is the best forum for this, but can't figure out my issue. I'm installing debian squeeze (6.0.3 amd64) all seems to go OK. However when I start up the system from cold, after grub loads and the system begins to boot, the boot process gets to "Waiting for /udev to populate" then the system restarts. It may do this 4 or 5 times until it actually starts. Looking through the dmesg.0 file and the dmesg.1.gz I see that it gets to loading bluetooth before restart. I don't really know if this is related though... My rig has no bluetooth hardware in it. Googling turns up nothing. Any ideas?
Hey guys!
I'm having an issue trying to install debian 6.0.3, the i386 DVD version onto a Dell PowerEdge 1400SC server
The issue is when the installer reaches "installing addition components from cd". It loads a few of the components, but then freezes on "libc6-udeb" for a while, then giving me an error message saying:
"There was a problem reading data from the CD-ROM. Please make sure it is in the drive. If retrying does not work, you should check the integrity of your CD-ROM"
I read up on this error and believe it is caused by DMA being on, but I'm struggling to deactivate it.
I understand you disable it by going to VT2, cd /proc/ide/hdc
But then I get "-/bin/sh: cd: can't cd tp /proc/ide/hdc"
Hi, I’ve just installed the latest stable release of Debian from a large CD image (the net install didn’t work, the computer kept freezing).
I have the following problems:
1. I can’t connect to the internet with it, even if I plug in an ethernet cable. (I only used the first of teh CD images, maybe that's the problem).
2. How do I download all the extras (it is running the very basic set up).
Any help would be gratefully received!

I have a triple boot system with Windows XP, Debian Lenny, and Fedora in that order as far as the
disk partitions, and Lenny's grub controlling the multiboot. This has worked well for years.
Recently the Debian got corrupted with some dependency issues, and I want to install Squeeze in
place of the existing Lenny (I don't need to save anything from the Lenny). Is this possible, using
a startup install CD for on-line installation of Squeeze, over the Lenny partitions, and also without
disturbing the Windows and Fedora boots? If it is, are there any manual steps to be taken during
the installation, related to grub2 or otherwise?
Thanks in advance.
Hello,
Recently playing with debian installer on system with two or more disk managed by mdadm and LVM, I have decided to add dm-crypt for root file system and swap space.
Install with debian squeeze CD disk1 on raid mirror hard disk with logical volumes works without any errors during all the installation process.
It get worse when I added dm-crypt (LUKS) module between raid and LVM; as a whole partition encryption which will get physical volume for LMV.
Install works until reaching grub install menu, it fails and tell me "unable to install grub in /dev/sda". See "http://tmpmbox.no-ip.org/squeeze_install_grub_error.jpg".
In all case, /boot partition is created at the beginning disk partition and is not encrypted, nor in logicial volume.
