General :: Installing Red Hat 5 On IBM XSeries 346?
Feb 22, 2011
I'm trying to instal RH 5 64 on an IBM x346. In the BIOS I enabled host raid (could not see disks if disabled) and setup a RAID-1 (mirror) 2 HD's. I have then proceeded to install RH 5 (using the GUI) on to the mirror which appears to have installed fine. When I reboot the system is seems to boot to the OS but the screen is black with a few thin white lines appearing on the screen. I thought this may be related to the on-board graphics soo I installed it again on another x346 (except this one had more memory). Upon rebooting this post install I am presented with the Error booting OS.

I am trying to install openSuSE 11.4 on my IBM xSeries 440 Server and I am not having much success. I am getting to the welcome screen and installation menu screen fine, but when I select the 'install' option it loads the Linux kernel up to %100 and then just goes to a black screen from which the only escape is a reboot, the same thing happens when I select 'check installation media' and 'Firmware test'. I have tried the 'no ACPI' and 'safe settings' setting and still no luck.
I have successfully installed Windows server 2003 Enterprise edition on this machine so I know the hardware is ok.I suspect it could be a driver issue, but as I am very new to Linux and server installations I am grasping at straws.

I need to use the PCI slot to deliver SVGA video for testing purposes. I am assembling 20 units for a test station. All the PCI video cards I have tried leave artifacts (isolated pixel clusters of different colors or vertical lines), and cannot be set to SVGA (1024 x 768) resolution. PCI card that I can still purchase that will provide clean video? Are there video settings I am missing that need to be changed?Is there a primer on video cards with CentOS 5.4 available for the uninitiated?

Has anyone successfully installed opensuse (any version) on an xseries 342? (Single 1.13Ghz cpu, 512Mb, 2 x 18.2Gb scsi, Serveraid-4MX raid controller).Any problems? Does it detect the scsi controllers and raid controller? I'm d/ling the serveraid support cd right now. It contains the raid bios and the support files for suse linux enterprise server. Will they work with opensuse? I have opensuse 10.1 on 5 cds. I can't find anywhere to d/l 11.2 in cd isos, only as 1 large dvd iso, which is no good as the 342 only has a cd reader, and it's a pain splitting dvd isos to cd isos.
I'm hoping to turn this old beast into a web server, preferably running LAMP (apache2 etc). I've already got a Poweredge 2550 running Ubuntu 9.4 server, but the IBM is a different kettle of fish, with Ubuntu crashing during install because of their disc naming conventions. I'm hoping opensuse should be ok as the IBM has support for SLED. It's either opensuse or fedora, which I'm not a great fan of.

I have windows xp on my dell but I lost the drivers disk so I want to install linux Fedora 13 instead and wipe the windows xp. I burned the iso to a dvd and loaded up the live session user and used "Install to harddrive" but when I get to the partitioning window there is no harddrives to install to so I cant overwrite the windows drive (/C:)..

Do you know how can I install apps in other folder than usr automatically? (using dpkg and make install)
I want just to install it for example in special folder in my home partition (for example /home/usr).

I had previously partitioned my harddrive and installed Linux on one part of it. I had a few problems and didn't like the way Grub stayed when I removed Linux. Here's what I have now: I reformatted and have Windoh's XP on C drive with 70GB. I made a D drive with 70 GB.I want to install Linux on the D drive (I think...unless I shouldn't do that.) How will I access Linux if I do this? Will my computer boot into Windoh's by default as usual? Will I double-click on "My Computer" then choose The D drive with Linux installed on it? I don't want to have to go through removing the Grub thing as I had to do last time I removed Linux.My ideal thing would be to be able to double-click on D drive and run Linux without having re-start problems with my computer.I'm sorry if this makes no sense. I don't really know how to explain it.

I am trying to install software in the software directory which by default belongs to the user:group root:root.
Lets I create a user called user1 belonging to group group1.
And I create a directory called install1 under /opt
So from /opt, I do:
chown -R user1:user1 install1
Now install1 directory belongs to user user1 and group1.
Question is that in the full path /opt/install1, the parent directory belongs to root:root whereas the child directory (install1) belongs to user1:user1. Now when I install software as user1 and give that Path to install as /opt/user1/blah1 , is that ok?
Just wondering because /opt is root:root

I just downloaded Ubuntu remix Netbook edition 10.10. during the installation i wasnt paying attention and I downloaded the 32 bit version... The thing is the Unity interface is not showing up, and perhaps its becuase of this 32 bit thing. Anyway I would like to install the 64 bit version, not . Ive read around that the best way is to uninstall everything from windows (its dual boot) and re install. The problem is I dont have a windows xp start up cd, so that wouldnt work, or would be complicated.
However somewhere I read I could install over it, and I would like your thoughts. First off how would that work?? Ive learned my lesson not to play with the OS... to how to delete Ubuntu, without a Windows xp CD. To make it harder I dont know anything of computers so yay!

so my new job had me install Linux on a laptop at work, the laptop will be handed off to multiple users, 3 total (for now) The HDD is about 320gb, I believe. First, they just said "Install your flavor of linux", so I installed ubuntu 10.4. Then he said "Make sure you split it into 3 partitions, all boot-able...
fml. So I suck at managing partitions, I took up 100% of sda1. HTF do I split that up, without losing all of my data? My guess is I would need to boot in from a bootable DVD, unmound sda1, then..Im googling it now, but id love to go into work and already know what to do, lol

I have an older desktop with 233 Megahertz processor and one main hard drive 6 GB and a second internal hard drive 4 GB, with only 64 megabytes of RAM. I have installed Windows XP Professional on the main drive. It runs but too slow. I want to wipe/delete the partition and format the hard drive(s) and install a light version of Linux. The computer will be used only for internet and email and light word processing.

Install process gets all the way through to the point where it's copying files from CD to hdd. As soon as it gets to 100% my screen goes blank and it freezes up like that. The monitor then goes into standby mode, like it normally does when not connected to the computer (the green LED turns to orange). There is no command line or anything, I have to press reset button at this point. I can run live from the CD though.
Tried the Check Install Media feature and it gives a readout that md5sum is ok
md5: 62210a3034990b44bad86e8d2d69a271 **I have absolutely no clue on how to do this md5sum stuff, especially in Windows XP, so I just skip doing it and go right to burning CD/DVD**
Media is OpenSUSE 11.4 KDE liveCD on a Memorex CD-R 52x, burned at 8x (lowest I was able to go)
Hardware is: Pentium 4 with HT @2.8GHz, 1.5GB DDR, GeForce 6200 graphics (AGP)
Running Window XP Pro on main hdd
Should I figure a bad burn or something related to the CD-R I burned? In which case easy fix is to just download the DVD version and burn that (should have been my first choice I know). Or possibly an incorrect setting in BIOS? There is an option for OS/2 or Non OS/2, maybe its set wrong? I believe its currently set for Non OS/2 which was the default.
**The system I'm installing to is listed in my signature, which lists all the hardware I'm using.**

I have downloaded the following CentOS 5.5 DVD iso files and burn the same using Nero Express:
1. CentOS-5.5-x86_64-bin-DVD-1of2.iso (4.09 GB)
2. CentOS-5.5-x86_64-bin-DVD-2of2.iso (412 MB)
I am trying installing it on a Dell Vostro 1400 laptop. I could boot the machine successfully with the DVD 01. After selecting the Installation method as "Local CDROM" it says: CD Not Found. The CentOS CD was not found in any of your CDROM drives. Please insert the CentOS CD and press OK to retry and it ejects the DVD in a splash. I tried mounting the DVD in a DVD drives in Windows XP SP2 and it is showing the content correctly. I also tried mounting the iso file with PowerISO Virtual Drive manager in Windows XP SP2 and it is mounting well.
I tried many times but of no success. Earlier I tried the following also (before downloading the DVD image files):
1. I successfully installed Ubuntu 10.04 LTS Server Edition on the same machine.
2. The same machine is also working fine with CentOS 5.5 Live CD.
