Ubuntu 9.04 Installation Issue on SUN Netra T1 105
Hi,
I am new to this and just got a SUN Netra 440MHz T1 105 with 512MB RAM, 2 19G SCSI drives and a IDE CDROM.
I am having trouble loading Ubuntu 9.05 server iso via the CDROM. The CDROM driver does not get found and the installation aborts. The CDROM is a 24x toshiba XM-7002B.
I can load the old Ubuntu server 7.10 but cannot update it. (would need some help to do that, too).
If I recall rightly you should be able to update the 7.10 by just inserting the ubuntu 9.xx version.
It would pop up a message about doing a distro upgrade.
Alternative method would be again in ubuntu 7 to configure apt-get to use the CDROM as a local repository and update from it.
you would need to change the apt sources file to use the CD.
thanks for the hints. I got 8.04 loaded and it is working well after having changed the sources.list file to reflect the 'old-releases' versus the 'us.archive' pointers.
9.04 loads but I and having network issues: it seems that the driver is no longer there. Not sure why.
I got an inexpensive 2-port USB PCI card and put it into the Netra T1 lot. 'dmesg' seems to find it (ie the drivers seem to be there). However, how do I mount it, ie what is the /dev/??? that I use?
