Re-Imagining Linux Platforms to Meet the Needs of Cloud Service Providers
"If you thought installing Linux on a laptop was a fun
discussion, have I got a new one for you. This comes straight out
of the really, it should not be this hard category...the server
side.
"I have an HP Proliant 385 G2. It was running Fedora Core 7. It
installed fine a year or so ago and was running fine, but I wanted
to take it up to Core 10 and test drive the new features. Pretty
simple. The server has a P400 RAID board, a pair of 72GB disks and
four 146GB disks. The 72s are mirrored (RAID 1+0) and the 146s are
in an RAID5 array. Pretty standard stuff right?
"Boot up my Core 10 DVD, select my language and whamo, I get the
message:
"Unable to determine geometry of file/device /dev/cciss/c0d0.
You should not use parted unless you REALLY know what you are
doing."
