Asus A8N-E - debian-amd64 hangs during installation
 

I have box with sid i386 installed on it.
It has two disks WDC WD1001FALS in raid5 array (md0)
On md0 exists lvm.

I tried to install debian-6.0.1a-amd64 but with no success :(
1. Firstly I tried to install on prepared logical volume - kernel oops
(dmesg can be seen http://strony.aster.pl/kjonca/instalka.amd64.log)
2. Then I tried to use some other spare disks; either sata or pata - no success
also. Sometimes i can see kernel oops, sometimes I cannot even change
console from installer.

Googling for debian amd64 on this motherboard gives me posts from ~2005-2006,
but nothing more.

Can I redirect somehow installer logs to for example pendrive, to save
oops?

Try to increase the voltage on memories first (if I recall right what did), or
on cpu. You should find a post from me around the time you give.

I can confirm for you that Debian 6.0.1 will indeed run on this
board, I was running it up until this past weekend, when I retired
the system in question.

I only ran 6.0 in 32-bit, but in the past, I've run 64-bit lenny
on that board, again, with no issues.

The only thing I can think of is pretty unlikely -- I have sometimes
run into a situation where the installer will not run on a system,
because of missing modules, but the full OS will run just fine. Since
you apparently have a running "sid", you could possibly set up the
new system on a disk via "debootstrap", then boot into it, and see
if that works better.

I think that's pretty unlikely, though -- my experience with this
is that typically it's more common with an older installer and a
newer motherboard. The A8N-E is from 2005, I'd expect it to be fully
supported by the installer kernel.

Thanks.


I made some changes in BIOS (DDR voltage & CPU voltage IIRC) but only
success is that oops is thrown during "install base system" and not
during partitioning.

Does this mean memory/motherboard problems?

It could be the mobo, it could be the CPU or it could be RAM. (But
usually it's RAM.)


Reset the BIOS to factory defaults and then run memtest86+ from the Live CD.

I am trying to recall what I did. The problem with the same mobo was that every
component was working on other mobo, but not with that one, while other cpu,
memory stick made the mobo work perfectly. As I said before, the problem was
solved playing with the voltage, using lenny at the time. I recall also that it
would work with $W with standard bios setting. I tried last night to install
squeeze on the boxe to see if I had the problem, and the install oops at
various level, regardless of bios setting. I wont have time to look at it
before the coming week-end. I will keep you informe of the outcome.

Mine is a different Asus board, but I had to adjust the memory timing, even though
the memory was rated for all the timings the board supported , the highest one
caused issues.

Are you sure you aren't trying to install OS/2? :)

Hello,

just out of curiosity, why did you choose raid5 for a two-disk setup?
