I am using the instructions "The Perfect Server w/ ISPConfig 3". This is my second server using the exact same hardware as server one. I have set the BIOS the same as server one. It is using Raid 5. Weird stuff... The system recognizes the Raid system, and I was able to install everything for the Linux install before rebooting and starting ISPConfig 3 install. On reboot, the system is looking for DHCP (the eth0 was configured with my static ip, etc as usual). Everything installed fine. On reboot, going into the Raid system, everything in the family of 6 hard disks indicates fine, except it is showing "Bootable" - NO. Linux always makes the Raid system bootable. I have the storage set in BIOS to "Raid", yet it doesn't show as an option to choose for booting the server. This is odd. Is there something I'm missing? I've done this so many times???
Who is looking for DHCP, BIOS (PXE) or Debian ? If is PXE you can disable this on BIOS. If is Debian, the configuration file is /etc/network/interfaces and the config should be like this: Code: # The loopback network interface auto lo iface lo inet loopback # The primary network interface auto eth0 iface eth0 inet static address 11.22.33.44 netmask 255.255.255.0 network 11.22.33.00 broadcast 11.22.33.255 gateway 11.22.33.1 About boot. Your system boots well ? You can see if you have a partition boot enabled with fdisk fdisk /dev/sda press "p" for view partitions and "q" for quit
Hi Mentes, It's PXE. I did disable this, but the raid system is still showing them (6x500gb) raid 5 "not bootable". The bios is set to "raid", not IDE. The raid system shows all 6 as being in the raid system (Control + I). Strange.
Hardware RAID is transparent for OS, you will see only one large disk in Debian, usually /dev/sda Your Debian boots fine now ?
The latest stable Debian version is 6.0.2.1 I'm sure the .iso files are bootable, you do something wrong.
