Re: Digidelivery server LT won't Boot to OS
Tried connecting monitor and keyboard which shows it gets through the bios post fine, but when the OS should load gives "GRUB Loading stage2Read Error". Googling that seems to show its a Linux error. I'm assuming the ServLT is really just a PC running the digidelivery server software under Linux.
Aspera suggest swapping the drive but as the server is out of warantee that is $550 plus shipping. I guess I'll have to take that option, but seems a little odd when hard drives are prone to become corrupted or even die that there isn't a route to allow the user to replace or reformat the drive and re-install the software. Most other computers (PCs, Macs even Sky Plus boxes) allow drive reformatting/replacement, shame the ServLT doesn't allow this.
As for the CD drive I guess it must be there for some purpose, and the Bios is set to boot from USB floppy first, CD second, and hard drive third. I'm tempted to use the CD to boot to so I can run diagnostics on the hard drive, but think I'd better heed your warning! Will probably take the hard drive out and test on a PC.
Thanks again for the help,
Phill.
