All,
We have a server currently running RHL 9 (We're planning on upgrading to RHEL 3.0, but that's another story). Anyway, the SCSI tape drive is
dying
and since it's a relatively small server I figured I'd just use
mondoarchive
to back it up to dvd instead.
I bought a LiteOn LDW-451S dvd burner and put it in. I then modified
the
kernel line to include the scsi emulation, so now it reads: title Red Hat Linux (2.4.20-31.9smp) root (hd0,0) kernel /vmlinuz-2.4.20-31.9smp ro root=LABEL=/ hda=ide-scsi initrd /initrd-2.4.20-31.9smp.img
I also installed dvdrecord-0.1.2-10 and dvd+rw-tools-5.11.4.6.4-1. I
had
been using mondo 1.64 to back up to tape, but since it didn't recognize
dvd,
I upgraded to mondo 1.75.
the machine rebooted when it got to the point of burning the image to
the
drive. Then after reboot, I wanted to look at the dvd+rw-tools docs, so
I
started vnc and tried to get into /usr/share/docs from nautilus. vnc
has
been rock-solid so far, but this time the machine rebooted again.
I have no idea what to do from here. Any ideas?
Thanks!
Ben
Overloading the power supply maybe?
I doubt it. I pulled a CD-ROM and replaced it with the DVD burner. This is a server box with a big honkin power supply...
Ben
If its not the power supply, try replacing the EIDE cable next.
