Amahi Forums

Following the instructions at http://docs.amahi.org/amahi-7-express.html

All is well down to steps 3.8.
At step 3.7 the machine is rebooted (after first removing the install media).
The Operating System does then from the hard drive to a text console. A Login screen that sits for a few moments then the machines reboots itself as is described in step 3.8.

However rather than anything actually starting, all that shows on the screen is rows of text, the last one of which is
Buffer I/O error device sda1 logical block 431.

Above that on the screen are other failures and errors including several lines such as
Failed command READ MULTIPLE

Any ideas?

Change BIOS settings?
Select different options in the "Installation destination" screen?

Hard drives installed are:
* IDE 160G drive - Selected [checked] under "Installation destination" w/automatic partitioning enabled.
* SATA 2T drive *NOT* selected under "Installation destination" as it is supposed to be the storage device.

Only as a test to check for a bad drive I am going to reattempt the install but will swap the drives' selections under "Installation destination" .

You may need to try the full DVD install. See https:// wiki.amahi.org for guidance.

Still under the express installer.
In the BIOS I turned on some kind of IDE bus controller that was off, now I no longer get any errors. Yay!
But wait!
Now upon any reboot I just get an empty "Localhost Login" screen that wants me to log in I suppose...

I looked in the wiki under
Troubleshooting > Fedora 19 (Express 64-bit CD/DVD)

but my issue is not mentioned and I didn't see where else to look that might describe this.

Thoughts?

This is a headless server. No desktop. Use hda dashboard via Web browser.

Uh, duh. Right, sorry.

Still no access though and the HDA doesn't seem to be on the network... My "Advanced LAN scanner" sees other devices on the subnet but not the new server.

Will open new Topic for this, thank you!
