Install on PowerEdge 6300

[Shinako Matsuyama <shina@pal.arch.sony.co.jp>]

Hi,

I tried to install Debian Linux 2.0 on DELL PowerDdge 6300.
But I can’t install it because the system has crashed during installation
( strictly speaking, after appears the message ‘ Ide: ports are not enabled
(BIOS)’ any input aren't accepted ).

Please give me an advice !!

<Environment>

-Debian
  Official Debian JP 2.0

-Hardware
  DELL PowerEdge 6300
  Intel Pentium II Xeon 450MHz
  Intel 450NX AGPset
  Memory: 1G
  Disk controller
    On boad Adaptec AIC-7890 Ultra2/LVD SCSI Controller * 2、
    SCSI-III Contoroller Adaptec AIC-7860 Ultra/Narrow

<Steps>

1) Install using CD-ROM or using ‘resc1440.bin’ FD.
    boot option:
     none
     or
     linux mem=1000M aic7xxx=no_probe
     or
     linux mem=1000M max_scsi_luns=0
    ( all of them have a same result )

<Result>

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I read following articles and it seems to me that my case is same as following
case.
So I also tried to change the kernel according to that steps.
But this time loading ‘root.bin’ has failed

<Steps:>
On other Linux machine.
 1) Copy ‘vmlinuz’ file that is included RedHat Liunx 5.2 install CD-ROM to
/tmp
 2) Insert Debian resc1440.bin Floppy disk
 3) mount -t msdos /dev/fd0 /mnt
 4) cd /mnt
 5) rm linux
 6) cp /tmp/vmlinuz linux
 7) ./rdev.sh
 8) cd /
 9)umount /mnt

<Result:>
 boot:
 Loading root.bin ....... Boot failed
