Hi all
I'm trying to install Debian on a HP Proliant DL385, but i've got some
problem and it should be wonderful to know if you can help me :
The iso image that i've used t install the system is the sarge for
amd64 (the system has Opteron processors, as you know).
After some adventures, (like form the install shell mounting /proc,
chroot on /target and grub-install from here) i've installed grub eith
these options in menu.lst :

root (hd0,0)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz root=/dev/cciss/c0d0p1 vga=773
initrd /boot/initrd.img

The system seems to boot, but it stops withthis message :

cciss: using DAC cycles
Using anticipatoru io scheduler
blocks= numeri block_size= 512
heads= 255, sectors= 32, cylinders= numeri
/dev/cciss/host0/target0:

It's not a kernel panic because the cursor ispoichè blinking and if i
press return the screen scroll down...But the only way for proceed is
to reboot.
I can't understand if the problem is the module cciss or something
else...
I've also tryed to change the root= option passed in grub in these way
:
kernel /boot/vmlinuz root=/dev/cciss/host0/target0 vga=773
and also :
kernel /boot/vmlinuz root=/dev/cciss/host0/target0/part1 vga=773
But nothing's changed. The strange thing is that i could pass whatever
i want to root= (like /dev/sda)option, but it doesn't work.

Have you got any suggestion ?

Thank you so much,

I've solved by installing via chroot lilo, with this /etc/lilo.conf :

boot=/dev/cciss/c0d0
root=/dev/cciss/c0d0p1
map=/boot/map
delay=20
vga=773
image=/boot/vmlinuz
label=Linux
read-only
image=/boot/initrd.img
append="console=tty0"

Rerunning lilo, and completing the installation process without
installing the bootloader, everything worked fine.
