Regards.
This is my first post here.
I just purchassed a Thinkserver ts140 to install Amahi 7.
I set the bios to legacy os, legacy boot first, boot dvd first.
downloaded the amahi 7 express install from torrent and another from http. Burned both to dvd and can not noot to install from either of them.
I thought it was the bios setting, but its not. I was able to boot from a lenovo dvd.
what am I missing? is therr snything else I should do to the amahi 7 download before burning?
thanks

Recommend you check the download is not corrupt. We provide
checksums to assist with verification.
Also, I presume this machine is 64-bit architecture. If not, the Express DVD will not work. You would need to follow wiki guidance for installing
32-bit full DVD.

Thanks for the reply.
The machine is a server 64bit indeed.
I will try the checksum. BUT I have a few questions.
The torrent download is named Amahi-7.1-x86_64-DVD.iso.torrent and shows a downloaded size of only 32 kb is this the real iso file r do I need a torrent ap to download the file and that is only a link or something like that?
the HTTP file is Amahi-7.1-x86_64-DVD.iso and is 799,744 kb, but it does not boot I guess this is the full iso. But will checksum maybe is corrupted.
Thanks.

Not good.
I burned the torrent iso, have attempted the install, but stays stock after the first reboot on the command prompt asking a login.
I have attempted 4 times to no avail. What should I do?
Thanks

This is a headless server. Did you follow guidance at
http://docs.amahi.org?
Access web UI from
http://ipaddress.

Thanks Bigfoot.
Yes I get it, as it is a headless install, no GUI is available on the Server itself.
If I understand correctly, the login after the second boot is what the server screen should look like if correctly installed?
The thing is I have not been able to access the server from the
http://hda/ neither from the ip.
Anything I should try?
