The PL3000 story continues.
Hi all,
Well I went to work on the ProLiant 3000 yesterday. It is actually about 40 miles from where I live. I took my newly SLOWLY burned SmartStart 5.5 cd and a Debian Internet install ISO cd. I inserted the SS55 into the cd drive and fired up the machine. It booted and I got the graphical picture and it hung. No progression into the software on the cd. At least this time it didn't even give me a Linux prompt. No one brought a computer with a burner so I was stuck. After a long time of fiddling around I turned off the computer and stuck in the Debian cd and then fired it up. I was still getting the 162 error code but it still let me install Debian, no gui. The hard drives were recognized just fine and Debian used the first two for installation. I partitioned the last three for future disk space of cd images, I got the Internet connection going and I updated the kernel. Then I downloaded ssh and ftp servers for access and transfers. That's when I quit. What's left to do is format the 3 drives, setup ssh and ftp and I would like to set up GNOME and Firefox so I can browse the Internet with it. The clock still says 1987 but I hope that when I learn how to change the system settings, that will be fixed too. So my rudimentary questions a 1. Will the SS55 cd fix the 162 error and the clock? 2. Is SS55 the last version of the software that will work on this computer? 3. Is there another cd that I should use in the setup process? Maintenance? thanks again, charles.... |
