Re: [K12OSN] New installation on an old ServerYou can boot from a CD.
Does the server have a USB port?
Can you boot from a connected USB flash drive?

Well I'm on round three. I'm going with just the array this time, the HD
isn't bootable in this server ;-). It's hard to get it to boot a CD
sometimes. Anyways, I'm setting up the partitions manually again, if this
doesn't work I may try an earlier version. I've read people having no
problems with fedora core 4. Is there a previous version of K12LTSP using
FC5 or FC4? I'm not ready to give up quite yet!

Levi,
The only other thing that I should have mentioned is to make sure that
you make the /dev/hdb1 partition as bootable ;-) Otherwise, your desciption
sounds - as they say - sane... and it sounds like it should go for you!
Good luck !!

Yes there is a custom settings button. I?ve got it reading the entire HD
as /boot ext 3 and I?ve split the array into / ext3 and a swap. Does that
sound correct? There is only one section now, Hard Drives, and there are no
LVM. I?m tentative to continue without input because of the amount of time
it takes me to get to this point again. Besides I have other work I can do
while I wait for a reply. Thanks again.

Levi,
I don't think that this is exactly what you want. If you look
closely, you will see that LVM is spanning both your array & the IDE drive
( /dev/hdb is your IDE hardrive and it is showing 2 partitions. You would
want it to only have a single partition, /dev/hdb1. Have another go at it
and see if you can force the boot partition to consume the entire drive. I
don't have the interface in front of me right now, but I "think" you can do
a custom partition setup...
HTH,
