Installing Arch i686 on my Compaq ProLiant 5500. Will it detect the..

I got a Compaq ProLiant 5500 and going to install Arch on it for a web/email server so will it detect the SCSI's out of box or what?
Also, how should I partition my drives for it? It'll be a web/mail/dns/dhcp server.

The driver for SCSI drives is in the ARch kernel so it shouldn't be a problem. I have a scsi-drive on one of my computer's and it has no problems. As how to partition, I'd look at one of the BSD-guides. Alot of BSD's are used for mail servers and have good advice on how to partition. If i remember correctly you'll want partitions for /, /tmp, and /var... Here, I done looked it up for ya :

Hi installed Arch i686 with Nouveau and drivers. now dead end

went to post a long typed output from Arch terminal, no desktop, I had changed my password when I went to post it decided I was not logged in and lost the lot.
Just a short note now.
xorg.conf.d which nano refuses to look at and pmagic file manager shows nothing about the nvidia nv vesa and fbdev modules that are demanded by xorg as shown by the log.
There were also error commands in xinitrc, named twm, xterm were not found.
I also installed kde which has its own window maker.
I wonder where to go with Arch from this seemingly dead end.
Sorry for the sparse post, too tired to type it all out again from Arch terminal.
Regards
Zoroid

Thanks Mr.Elendig and the others,
got kde up and running now, took a bit of time the first time, and twm and xterm helped.
I was too tired to type out the whole log again last night, so sorry for the kiss post, even so it put me on the right path.
The card was an Nvidia G Force GT 240, and its going fine with Nouveau in an Intel core duo Gigabyte MB 4 gig dd3 ram
Mr.Elendig wrote:1. what hardware do you have?
2. read https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Xorg
3. you are getting the errors about xinitrc because you did not install twm and xterm etc, see 2.

Solaris 8 on Compaq ProLiant 1600

We tried to install Solaris 8 on a Compaq ProLiant 1600/500
with dual processor. The installation failed in the "scanning hardware
configuration" phase entering into debugger mode.
We know that our configuration is NOT on the hardware compatibility list.
On the other hand the Compaq ProLiant 1600 (2 CPUs, PIII-550) can be found
in the HCL.
Any kind of help would be higly appreciated.
Andras

The first thing to do with a Compaq is make sure the latest and greatest rompaq has been applied to the board and all devices. Next, download and use the latest and greatest Solaris DCA diskette and use it for the install boot. I am making the assumption you are using the CD this time around. If that doesnt work, you will have to remove all but the bare minimun of hardware and try the install then add each device one by one. The DCA diskettes are updated regularly so thelatest one may solve the issue.

Cannot install Arch

Hello, after clearing out all the partitions on my harddrive today, I installed windows XP pro as usuall, and when I installed arch, everything went fine until I was going to configure the arch, Neither rc.conf or any other files existed on the file system, and vim stated the /etc didn't exist either.
What is the issue?

This happened to me not too long ago, you should search the forums for the latest beta isos, they should work.
I think what is happening is that there is some kind of file conflict when pacman is installing your initial set of packages, so nothing really gets installed at all. Because of the ncurses layout of the installer it's sometimes hard to catch the errors.
Not really too much of a surprise given the age of the isos and all the changes in the repos that have undoubtedly occured since then. But new isos should be coming soon, I believe when the 2.6.25 kernel hits [core]

Failure to install Arch Linux via netinstall AIF; PGP key issues

Hello,
I'm am attempting a fresh install Arch Linux on a clean machine: Dell 1420, 4GB RAM. I am using the archlinux-2012.02.09_04-00-01-netinstall-dual.iso installer.
Installation progresses nicely through the package selection (I choose core, core-dev, xfce, and xorg packages only, to keep it simple for now). The packages download quickly, and then the installation fails during installation indicating that none of the PGP keys are known for any of the downloaded files. The process essentially aborts and I press 'Continue' returning me to the main menu. I have repeated this process several times.
What needs to be done to install Arch Linux?
Thanks.

Hi,
Thanks, I have been through the Beginners Guide. I just want to get Arch Linux to "start" with a very basic GUI. during one of my installation iterations I did install only 'core' files, but the same failure occurred. so I'm at a loss as to how to get even a basic installation to take hold. Thoughts on the pgp key issues?
Thanks.
Update: I've switched to using the default net installer (2011.08.19) and the installation succeeded!

Fresh installed arch hanged with Skype in wmii during video call.

Fresh installed arch hanged with Skype in wmi during video call. The keyboard stopped reacting to any keys, including Ctrl+Alt+F1 (F2, F3, F4, F5, F6), Ctrl+Alt+Backspace.
The timer was actually working but updating in 3-5 seconds. While I had powerful laptop (i5 2.6GHz, 8Gb RAM). So,... I had to use power button to restart.
Any ideas how to avoid this in future?
Dis anybody experience similar issue?

How to detect the Acrobat Browser Plug-in version installed on a users system for non-IE browsers?

How to detect the *Acrobat Browser Plug-in version* installed on a users system, on Firefox, Safari, Opera, etc?
Or one script for detecting Plug-in version for major browsers. Need full example code.

Wrote an article on this with code samples (Javascript + HTML) - basically there are differences between IE and other browsers. Chrome natively comes with the Chrome PDF Viewer so I've incorporated that in my detection script.
The script detects the browser type, and the installed acrobat version...
Have a look here:

Compaq Proliant 1600 Server Install

Hi!
I'm working on setting up a Compaq Proliant 1600 server. . .I've made a bit of progress thanks to a few posts on the forum.
I've bugged everyone on the irc channel so now its time to ask here :oops:
Basically, I can't get the Arch install to recognize the scsi drives (2) I've got...
What I've done:
1. Loaded all the modules (cpqarray etc...)
2. In '/dev' I did 'mkdir ida'
3. Next I 'mknod /dev/ida/c0d0p1 b 72 1' <---this should be my swap
4. Then I 'mknod /dev/ida/c0d0p2 b 72 2' <-----this is my /
Now I'm not sure what to do...
Since I've been able to partition the drives the next step seems to be to
set filesystem mountpoints, right? The Arch install doesn't recognize the drives at all - It simply says "NONE".
So, if anyone has any tips or advice I'd appreciate it
I'm setting this server up for my school's website - and thought I'd go with Arch. . .
Thanks!
nedson

It's all about loading the right modules. With < 0.7 ISO's you can modprobe cpqarray. Later ISO's don't have cpqarray anymore, they use cciss.
Some threads you'll want to read:

Compaq proliant install help

Can someone please give me some tips as i need to install Arch on my Compaq Proliant server.
I know i need the cpqarray , tlan , sym53c8xx_2 , sd_mod , scsi_mod
But i still cant see the dev files for ida blah blah so Arch cant see my drive.
I have the raid setup as mirroring ( Raid 1 ) on 3 * 9Gb scsi drives.
If you have installed Arch on one of these servers can you help me out. I will be using the 0.7.1 noodle cd.

Installing Solaris 10 on Compaq Proliant 1600 with Smart 2DH PCI controller

I'm trying to put Solaris 10 on a fairly old 350 Mhz Compaq Proliant.
Compaq SMART-2DH Array controller Ver C rev 3.08
This is a PCI card
I have tried downloading HP's drivers for the Smart II controller and renaming the DU/ folders to 210 instead of 28, and the installation program will process the drivers
When it continues on to the part where you select the type of installation, it gives these errors:
/platform/i86pc/kernel/drv/smartii: undefined symbol 'eisa_nvm'
WARNING: mod_load: cannot load module 'msartii'
WARNING: forceload of drv/smartii failed
WARNING: forceload of drv/smartii failed
Then it will continue on to the GUI portion of the install and give the error about not having any available disks to install on to (check cables)
Is there any way to make Solaris 10 load these drivers? I know it doesn't support EISA, but this card is PCI. Not sure why it tries to load EISA drivers for it.
This thing also has SCSI built into the motherboard, does anyone know if Solaris 10 will support that particular controller? No idea what it's called. If it will, I'm just going to plug the hard disk cable in to that and go with it.

Has any body found a way to get Solaris 10 to install with the Smart-2DH controller? I've got a Compaq Proliant 1850R that also has that raid controller and the Solaris 10 install rejected the Solaris 8 driver.

9IAS install on Compaq Proliant DL360

I have been trying to install 9IAS Release 2 (9.0.2.0.1) - on Compaq Proliant DL360 (Win200).After install EM website stops intermittently and unable to run Forms - is there a
problem with 9IAS and Proliant DL360 and is there any way round it?

Alec,
Some ideas:
1) Do you have .Net running simultaneously?
See: http://download-west.oracle.com/docs/cd/B10573_02/relnotes.902/addendum/oem.htm#1007067
2) Do you have a fixed IP address or DHCP?
See: http://download-west.oracle.com/docs/cd/B10573_02/relnotes.902/addendum/ipchange.htm#1004903
3) Did you install the infra & the middle tier in separate ORACLE_HOMEs?
Thanks,

Can't install arch in vmware fusion , /dev/tty7 error

I have the latest vmware fusion ,I downloaded the i686 core iso image.
I use vmware fusion (the latest) i select the default options , when I get to setup if i select "auto prepare harddrive" it fails and tells me to see /dev/tty7 which I can't .
So i manually partition, and then when I select files to install I get the error "cannot start pacman see /dev/tty7"
So i thought maybe the disc image was bad, Ive downloaded the iso from different sites/sources with the same problem. It would seem vmware should be the easiest to install to.
I read the wiki but I don't understand, I have no other issues installing other linux distros in vmware fusion.
