[Bug 923594] Re: Will not install cleanly on this server- HP TC 2120, any version of Server...

[Mike Ferreira]

v10.10, Same.  v10.04.3 installed fine but- "Segmentation Faulty Tree"
error even after "sudo rm /var/cache/apt/*.bin" (which usually fixes
that).   That means no updates, upgrades nor a release upgrade.  Cannot
install a browser.  I can ssh into it to extract info from other boxes.

Other notes- runs Win Server 2000, 2003 and 2008 fine. Was originally
certified on SUSE and RedHat. No I haven't tried with those 2, but
current version of OpenSuse fails.

Will try Solaris and Fedora, just to see if I comeup with any pattern
with what I've seen so far... The errors seem to be mostly on expansion
of the debian file (extraction and writing of).

Title:
  Will not install cleanly on this server- HP TC 2120, any version of
  Server...

Bug description:
  Hewlett Packard TC2120 Server (Rebranded ASUS NRL-LS motherboard)

  Have tried installing Ubuntu Server, versions 12.04 alpha, 11.10,
  11.04, 10.10, 10.04.  All versions fail at either the initial base
  system load (such as a bootstrap error) or at an get/apt error or the
  package load/configure.

  If I set the vga mode at the start of the install, then I do get the
  prompt to load non-free firmware for the onboard Broadcom NetXtreme.
  Even after loading this, it gets the same problems...

  After dropping in a vanilla Intel NIC, then it could install Server
  10.04 LTS without any complaints, but... It would have apt-cache
  errors.  I would have to delete the  *.bin files in the apt-cache
  before any update/upgrade.  It would not do a release upgrade with
  prompt=normal without crashing.

  I've got 5 other servers on Ubuntu Server and would like this one up
  on it also.

  This was reported from my main box and not from this system.  If you
  want that, I'll throw this board on a test bench case and Install
  10.04 on it.  Or if you want the errors from any of the other
  versions... Just ask.
