Debian 5.0 lenny on ML 370 G5

MIEJA — Thu, 06 Aug 2009 13:21:50 GMT

Debian 5.0 lenny has been tested by HP on the ML370 G5. Installed kernel is AMD64 as per

http://h71028.www7.hp.com/enterprise/cache/433096-0-0-0-121.html

After installing operating system and reboot, I receive an error message "Attempting boot from Hard Drive C:"

What are the options regarding this?

Thanks

Looks like something went wrong with the installation of the boot loader. The rest of the installation is probably just fine, but the system cannot start because the bootloader has a wrong configuration.

Please boot the system to the rescue mode using your installation media:
http://www.debian.org/releases/stable/amd64/ch08s07.html.en

The GRUB installation routine most likely has a mis-mapping between the BIOS disk identifiers and Linux disk device names. This is more likely to happen in servers, because servers often have multiple SCSI and/or FibreChannel HBAs, and all of them are potentially valid boot controllers.

Examine /boot/grub/device.map and fix it so that (hd0) is mapped to the system's primary boot disk (what is known as "Hard Drive C:" in Microsoft OSs).

Also check the main GRUB configuration file, /boot/grub/menu.lst.

Then re-install the GRUB boot loader with

grub-install '(hd0)'

Hello.

Where did you install boot loader to? If GRUB 1 doesn't work, install grub-pc (or GRUB 2 if you want) and use that.

It's important you install both on MBR.
