Hi have tested the ISO image installation with two servers: SGI 1200 and
HP LH2000.
Both had the same problems:
I was not able to put an XFS partition on the root filesystem because
the system is not able to mount it during the first reboot. This is
probably due to the fact that the /etc/hosts file uses a label "/" for
the root fs and XFS does not seems to have any label on its partitions.
The other problem is with devfs and some devices like the mouse and the
cd. During the boot the ide-cd module is not loaded and the device nodes
for the cd are not created. I can fix this by modifying the init scripts
but I would like to know the real solution. For the mouse the problem is
that XFree86 is trying to use /dev/mouse which does not exist.
We are currently investigating to find a Linux distribution/hardware
that could handle big server config like 4CPU, >2Gb ram, 500G raid.
Could you please tell me how to fix these problems ?
