Install Core/Hybrid
I think the kernel that ships with 0810 is too old for my hardware. Several devices need updated drivers. These drivers need to be placed onto a USB drive before beginning. You can view all the hardware for my setup on the LinuxMCE Setup page.
Boot the Snapshot DVD
These instructions were created for 0810 snapshot 23326. When booting from the DVD, change the kernel options to include "all_generic_ide" http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=5436513&postcount=7
Create four partitions
- 500MB ext3 for /boot
- 4GB swap
- 200GB ext3 for /
- Rest of the drive XFS for /home
First Boot
Get the primary network card (eth0) working
# Using a USB drive, copy the drivers for r8168, r8169, e1000, and hid to /root/drivers # extract, compile, and install the r8168 driver depmod -a /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/drivers/net/r8168.ko rmmod r8169 modprobe r8168 /etc/init.d/networking restart
Install sshd so I can complete the installation from the comfort of my couch
apt-get update apt-get install openssh-server
More driver installs
# Replace the buggy r8169 module so it doesn't incorrectly auto detect my primary network card make cp r8169.ko /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/drivers/net/ depmod -a /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/drivers/net/r8169.ko # Install the driver for the secondary network card (eth1) (e1000e driver) cd src && make install modprobe e1000e # Install the updated HID driver to support the Gyration_GYR4101US remote make cp hid.ko /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/drivers/hid/ depmod -a /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/drivers/hid/hid.ko # Rebuild initramfs echo "r8168" >> /etc/initramfs-tools/modules update-initramfs -uvk `uname -r` | tee ~/updateinit.txt
Setup a RAID 1 across both drives
First install mdadm
apt-get install mdadm
Then follow the directions here making the changes noted below.
# /dev/md0 is sd[ab]1 - /boot mdadm -C /dev/md0 -n2 -l1 -e1 missing /dev/sdb1 mke2fs -j -L boot /dev/md0 # /dev/md1 is sd[ab]5 - swap mdadm -C /dev/md1 -n2 -l1 -e1 missing /dev/sdb5 mkswap -L swap /dev/md1 # /dev/md2 is sd[ab]6 - / mdadm -C /dev/md2 -n2 -l1 -e1 missing /dev/sdb6 mke2fs -j -L root /dev/md2 # /dev/md3 is sd[ab]7 - /home mdadm -C /dev/md3 -n2 -l1 -e1 missing /dev/sdb7 mkfs.xfs -f -l size=64m -d agcount=4 -i attr=2,maxpct=5 -L home /dev/md3
Inside the /dev/md2 chroot, replace /etc/fstab with
LABEL=root / ext3 relatime,errors=remount-ro 0 1 LABEL=boot /boot ext3 relatime 0 2 LABEL=home /home xfs relatime,allocsize=512m 0 2 LABEL=swap none swap sw 0 0
Use the LABEL=root in the grub kernel arguments too
title Ubuntu 8.10, kernel 2.6.27-17-generic - drive 1 root (hd0,0) kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.27-17-generic root=LABEL=root ro quiet splash initrd /initrd.img-2.6.27-17-generic quiet title Ubuntu 8.10, kernel 2.6.27-17-generic - drive 2 root (hd1,0) kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.27-17-generic root=LABEL=root ro quiet splash initrd /initrd.img-2.6.27-17-generic quiet
Adding /dev/sda to the RAID array takes around three hours to complete on my 1TB drives
