Diskless media director - How many hours does it take to boot?

(1/5) > >>

cirion:
I have installed a server with Core only, and followed the Wizard in the admin site.
I have also installed a Orbiter in Windows Vista.
I have run the Diskless orbiter wizard.
I have given up trying to boot my HTPC wich has a Asus 8N32-SLI Deluxe mainboard with 2 PXE enabled "Kernel Panic" cards.

Now, trying to boot a diskless laptop with PXE, it connects to the core and my Orbiter asked me a few questions and a lot happens on the Media Director exept getting a GUI. After a while it stopped after "* Starting Samba daemons..."

I have tried rebooting the MD, and rebuilding it in the Admin site. Now I have tried waiting for 2 hours...

How many hours does it take to boot diskless?
Will Linux MCE support at least one of the Nic's on an Asus 8N32-SLI Delux motherboard any time soon?

cirion:
Now I see progress.....

* Starting OpenBSD Secure Shell server....
* Starting NFS Common Utilities

And I am still waiting...

How much time should a first boot of a diskless MD take?
What is the normal boottime after the first boot?

cirion:
Some more progress..

* Starting RAID monitoring service mdadm --monitor
* Starting periodic command scheduler...
* Running local boot scripts (/etc/rc.local)

How loong is this going to take?!?

cirion:
Cannot say how loong it took, but when I woke up this morning I got the setup wizard :)
Never got to the gui before I went to work.

This setup is SLOW!

sharlee_angelo:
what cpu do you have on MD? i have a MD with Intel Celeron 1.6 ghz and the setup takes about 2 hours.
