Installing Astaro on a Dell Vostro

Hello,

We want to replace our aging firewall with a newer machine. Due to internal issues, we had to pick the cheapest possible hardware for the replacement and we settled for a Dell Vostro.

Now: We've received the unit, added a coupld of network cards (low-profile D-Link cards) and poped in a CD of Astaro... Only to have the install fail. staro V5.211 will freeze on boot or shortly thereafter and V7.006 will stop right after we select a language ("Installation failed", nothing more).

How can we fix that ?

your issue is trying to use a bleeding edge desktop with a server oriented product. YOu relaly should buy an actual server for astaro.

Thanks a lot for your answer, SilverOne.

Fulgan,

Maybe the new 82G33 chipset from Intel who delivers the problem.

Have you tested version 6?

We have found a solution to the issue.

We tried to install a Debian on the same machine and had issue with the ATA controller subsystem. We then went into the machine BIOS and, in the inboard controller settings, we changed it from the "IDE" mode to "RAID" mode. Astaro then installed fine.

Thanks again

don't use a vostro..use a poweredge machine. The sc4xx will be a good match for astaro.
