Hi Forum!

 

I have a old Bladechassi with Dell-servers that i am going to convert to our companycloud.

Hardware is Dell Poweredge 1955 servers with

Processor, 80556K, Xeon Clovertown, E5335, LGA771, Burn 3

SCSI controller SAS5IR-Integrated.

 

Software : Debian

Here is the deal!

Converter works fine on first server with following Debian setup:

2.6.18-5-686 #1 SMP Tue Dec 18 21:24:20 UTC 2007 i686 GNU/Linux

Partitions:

# <file system> <mount point>   <type>  <options>       <dump>  <pass>
proc            /proc           proc    defaults        0       0
/dev/sda1       /               ext3    defaults,errors=remount-ro 0       1
/dev/sda5       /home           ext3    defaults        0       2
/dev/sda8       /tmp            ext3    defaults        0       2
/dev/sda9       /usr            ext3    defaults        0       2
/dev/sda6       /var            ext3    defaults        0       2
/dev/sda7       none            swap    sw              0       0
/dev/scd0       /media/cdrom0   udf,iso9660 user,noauto     0       0

 

 

But i got problem with following setup:

 

2.6.18-6-686-bigmem #1 SMP Tue Jun 17 22:40:43 UTC 2008 i686 GNU/Linux

Partitions:

proc            /proc           proc    defaults        0       0
/dev/sdb1       /               ext3    defaults,noatime,errors=remount-ro 0       1
/dev/sdb5       none            swap    sw              0       0
/dev/scd0       /media/cdrom0   udf,iso9660 user,noauto     0       0
# 192.168.237.154:/var/exports /var/exports nfs rw      0       0

 

Error codes in the stand alone converter (pick a number tried the all)

QUESTION: Why is the first server (Identical hardware setup) OK but

the other one failing?

Can there be issues with the later version of Debian?

Greatful for ideas about this.
