trying to build me an IPX box for ASG here.
- Dual-Core Atom N550 board with 2xGbit NIC - Jetway JNC9C-550-LF
- Mini ITX caes - Jetway ADD-ON 3x GigaLAN
- 2GB RAM (bought 4 when I realized, the board only handles 2 [:(] )
- 500GB 2,5" WD that I had lying around
I then got me the "latest" ASG iso here:
ftp://ftp.astaro.com/Astaro_Security_Gateway/v8/software_appliance/iso/
... and burned it to a DVD/CD.
Hooked up an external USB-DVD drive to the IPX box and bootet up.
When I follow the installation procedure it detects the four Intel Atom N550 threads as CPUs, the WDC WD5000 2,5" hdd, the DVD Drive and the two network cards properly. I hit ok, chose keyboard layout, location, leave date and time, pick eth0 and set an IP for the interface. I then pick the 64bit kernel since it is being offered. After that I choose "install all capabilities" and ....
THEN it tells me that during the next step it will erase all existing data on /dev/sda (the harddrive) and I hit "yes" to proceed: ---> error "failed to partition device /dev/sda/"
The log says:
bootstrap: START screen 'inst_part'
bootstrap: MBR wiped
bootstrap: part.c:453: ERROR: Error: gpt disk labels do not support extended partitions
bootstrap: ERROR: Failed to partition device /dev/sda
bootstrap: END screen 'inst_part'
bootstrap: END task 'installation'
bootstrap: START task 'fail'
bootstrap: START screen 'fail'
what am I doing wrong? Greatful for any advice. It has been years since I worked linux and I'm neither sure what the log means nor what I could do about it.
thanks guys
Andy
