| 07:37.44 | SlayerXP | sometimes |
| 07:38.18 | SlayerXP | for a new server (1u dual opteron w/ scsi raid) I made /boot a seperate partition |
| 07:39.27 | mozrat | SlayerXP: and? |
| 07:41.05 | SlayerXP | i then couldn't figure out why grub complained that /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.11.7 was missing |

| 07:42.50 | mozrat | SlayerXP: you weren't mounting /boot in fstab? |
| 07:43.07 | mozrat | no, thats not right |
| 07:44.04 | SlayerXP | no |
| 07:44.14 | SlayerXP | the correct path is /vmlinux-2.6.11.7 |
| 07:44.40 | SlayerXP | also the "root" directive does not mean your root partition in the traditional linux sense |
| 07:45.02 | SlayerXP | it means "define / as relates to the location of the kernel" |

| 12:10.25 | mozrat | I'm sure for the amount of time it takes to move the mouse a few mm on my desk and wait for the server console to catch up I could fly out there and install it locally |

| 13:16.25 | benmf | hi - you can ssh into ilo using a text console. that's much less painful. |
| 13:16.51 | benmf | there is also the xml scripting. but if you get it wrong it usually needs a reflash :( |
| 13:17.01 | benmf | btw - hello! |
| 13:17.21 | Jang- | SlayerXP: so, from that i can infer that you think they are worth getting |

| 13:50.08 | wethrin | If it's between the exchange and your socket, possibly |
| 13:50.20 | highbury | there is a self-test facility |
| 13:50.44 | highbury | you call 151 from the number and they, can test the line |
