Installation issues / Re: Diskless setup fails - diskless_setup.sh

« on: September 26, 2007, 07:17:06 pm »

If it is, that's propably, because there are 2 dhcp-servers. one on the core and one on the router. for diskless md's you definately need the core to be dhcp-server. So you should deactivate dhcp on the router and use the core instead.

Thanks for that but I've already turned off DHCP on the router.

I might try doing it with a laptop - which I presume will work. If it does, does anyone know how to find out WHY the setup script fails? In any case, it would be helpful to incorporate failure messages into the script for everyone's sake.

Installation issues / Diskless setup fails - diskless_setup.sh

« on: September 25, 2007, 08:41:41 pm »

I am trying to boot a MeshBox as my first ever media director over the network. The system appears to start fine but then:

Code: [Select]

Assigned permanent IP '192.168.80.2' to device '19'
Running Diskless_setup.sh
Diskless setup failed
That's it - no more diagnostics!

The MeshBox runs on a VIA EPIA Nano-ITX CV860A series mainboard. It has succesfully booted into the lightweight linux on  an internal CompactFlash card many times.

• My core is running DHCP but only has one ethernet card in it so my home router is still acting as an internet gateway. Could this be a factor?
• Which logs can I look at to see what went wrong?

Any help appreciated!

Installation issues / Re: NVIDIA installation failed

I had a similar problem. When I installed the NVidia drivers it rebooted and then wouldn't let me out of 640x480. Then I couldn't get rid of the driver. It was for my server anyway (alpha blending pointless) so I just reinstalled everything and clicked on "no" the next time.
