Hi, I’ve found your blog very intersting. I’ve also a Dreamplug but I’m a noob in using these type of SBC with Linux (I’m a designer of embedded microcontroller system, I’ve no work before with this type of Linux embedded computer). Actually I’m succesfull logged in trough the JTAG/UART module (I’m using Fedora 16 running into VirtualBOX on a WinXP machine). Now my next goal will be start in developing somethings in C using the USB and Ethernet port of the Dremplug in order to interface it with external hardware, do you’ve some notes, link, tutorial, how to to follow in order to start with this new experience? Thanks in advance. Of course all my future work will be open source. Regards

No, the first link is to a “SmartName” splog that makes money from links. The twitter is correct and points to http://www.rasmussenreports.com/

I am a descendant of Ole Bull, the violinist. Anyone knows if he had English or Scottish ancestors?

Comment on Some tips to (re)install grub on an HP ProLiant server by Sergey

Thank for your article!
After installation Redhat EL 5 update 7 on blade server bl460 g7 with P712m card for external SAS storage, there is appear error message “Attempting boot from hard drive (C:)”

I booted to rescue mode (after that i changed root to /mnt/sysimage: chroot /mnt/sysimage) and device.map has two records:
(hd0) /dev/cciss/c0d0 – this external controller
(hd10) /dev/cciss/c1d0 – this internal controller

When i tried to install grub to internal controller it’s show error:
grub-install /dev/cciss/c1d0
The file /boot/grub/stage1 not read correctly.

So i tried your method, and i have error when i run root (hd10,0) command:
root (hd10,0)
Error 12: Invalid device requested

So what i did is just removed external controller from device.map and change internal controller to (hd0)
(hd0) /dev/cciss/c1d0

After that in /boot/grub/grub.conf file, i changed all (hd10,0) to (hd0,0).

And install grub to internal controller /dev/cciss/c1d0
grub-install /dev/cciss/c1d0

That’s all, i hope it will be helpful for somebody, and sorry for my English :).

Wow, 6 years later and Redhat still can’t configure the boot loader right for HP Proliant servers.
This helped me too!
I guess HP Proliant servers aren’t very poplular, so getting support for them is a bit of a long shot X-D
